Air compressor Forge?

[Knife freaky]

Hey guys!

I'm going to be building a forge shortly and was thinking I would make it with a 5 lb air compressor tank. My question is, will this be big enough? I'm starting with just smaller knives but want something that's big enough to do Damascus billets, Hatchetts and maybe eventually a few swords. Will this work do you think? I have been reading all the Forge stickies and think this should be big enough but want to doublecheck

Thanks,

Daniel.

You can get a lot of work through a 2.5"x5" door.

Make a forge from your tank.
Learn to use it and learn to forge.
Make a bigger forge if and when you need one.

Got it. Thanks. I tend to get ahead of myself as far as size so I have to keep reminding myself to start small. Lol. Thank you sir for the input!
