Managed to get quite a large soup can and fancy making myself a gas powered forge. I have seen a video on YouTube on a smaller soup can forge and wanted to clarify the following:
Does the lining have to be plaster or can I use cement?
Will a soup can forge provide adequate heat to make a hammer head into an axe head and files into knife blades?
My proposed heat source will firstly be a propane torch? Will this provide enough heat or should I aim to use a better burner?
Any other suggestions welcome as I want to get building on this at the weekend.
Cheers
