Other than going to the Moran school of bladesmithing(which I plan on doing this summer)...what tools would I need to begin making damascus? Propane forge, press(less involved than beatin hell out of it?), anvil, borax, .....? I made so many folders..I don't know what to do with them. Need another source of frustration! Thanks for any and all info.

R.Duncan is having a hammer-in in Cairo, MO in April....perhaps he'll visit the whole damascus topic?
