    Default new forge

    I finally finished my new forge. I downsized a little bit from my last forge. The new forge heats up quickly and runs smooth. It is a 6 inch pipe with ceramic wool and clay on the inside.

    That looks nice!
    So, you made this your self? Well, I shouldn't be surprised at what you can do with a bit of steel and some time

    So now we will be presented with even more beautiful Custom razors?
    with this being so fast and all?

    I see you added a handle. That means you can take your forge on-the-go and heat treat on location :-)
    Great work Charlie. Always love to see you tinker.

    Simple, neat and efficient, the sign of a great design. It makes me soo envious, if only I had some space to put one up. Can't wait to see what comes out of it.

    I wish I could say the design were mine. The forge is really me following other peoples work and making the best out of the materials and tools I have on hand. I am happy that people both in person and on the internet are so willing to share information.

    I joined a local blacksmith group, I put the handle on so I could carry it with me to some of the meets. There are some talented blacksmith artist that I would like to learn from. Watching those guys hammer and move metal is humbling.

    Sublime work Charlie. Your talent never ceases to either impress me or make me feel spectacularly inferior.

    I wanna be like Charlie!

    PM sent on the forge...Would like to make one like this. Could I talk you into a tutorial on how you made yours & where you obtained your wool & mud?
