Forging

[Nathan Campbell]

You have all helped me a lot I just have one more thing and that is that I don't know where to get or build a kiln to forge with this is going to sound funny to all of you out there who have been doing this a long time but once I took a small Webber grill and coal and used it to forge it took along time but it worked. I don't want to do that any more once was fun but now I need to be forging more productive way thanks.

P. S its nice to finely find a place that will help me after 3 years of trying to find a place to help me just almost quit making knives but now that i found this place I know I wont quite thank to all

Ron Reils site that primos suggested has excellent step by step directions.I built 2 small forges using his designs,they both work very well.His burner design is really nifty,you can buy all the parts for it from any good hardware store.I'll gladly share what I learned when building mine with you.
