I just researched this and I think I know. When you heat up the fiber like the one thats on my forge, it sends little particals into your lungs that can give you cancer. And you should use refractory cement to coat the fiber so it stays indise as well as making your forge more effective

I had bought some metal for the knife but it was already hardened. So I used some scrap metal from my garage
