How To Make A Bladesmiths Forge

Step 6LOAD AND FIRE!

Now we will load it with charcoal and light it up for use. We will begin by adding some newspaper at the bottom and then placing small dry wood kindling on top of it. Next we will top that with charcoal. Preferably homemade charcoal as it burns better, doesn't stick to your blade, and it has less flying debris. Light the news paper and wait for some of it to catch fire and then turn on a blower device connected to the 2 inch pipe. I personally use a shopvac. Enjoy. Be careful. If you now have a forge but no idea how to make anything, stop by livelyknives.com or amazon.com and buy Knifemaking Unplugged. And im sorry but i have no photo as all this was taken while i was waiting for the cement to cure.
