>>56461Nice, I recently built a similar forge. Mine is smaller though, I used a break rotor. What sort of fuel do you burn in there? Also, do you do any actual blacksmithing? It looks like your knives are mostly stock removal.
I've made a lot of stock removal type knives, but they aren't as fancy looking as yours since I did all my work just with a 4" angle grinder. My first forge was just a pile of rocks and mud with a hair dryer, and it only really got hot enough to flatten out leaf springs and heat treat my blades. But now with my new forge I've actually started blacksmithing blades.
pic is my first forge.
