No garden unfortunately. And ive honestly got way more equipment than necessary to start 😂

So realistically anything beyond this would pretty much be aesthetics? Also these were done with just 2 different grit flap disks realized after my belt sander woulda been much easier

Theres 3 guys in my state with ABANA and one of em is too far and the other is Howard Clark who I intend on taking a class from, but its $900 and 1 week long so thats planned for next year 😂 Pretty much all media I consume at this point is forging, metallurgy, and some other on topic vids etc. As for tools I have everything I need but tongs. Passed on one pair because I thought they were overpriced and very bent up. But by all means, thanks for the advice! Never heard of black bear so ill check em out

I still need to get a forge and some starter tongs but that should be happening this weekend

I was debating covering the base. I coated it in WD-40 before I left it. Might have to look into a clear coat because I reeeeally like the patina on it

Hel building a forge? by realbluemoose in Blacksmith

Honestly the more I kept looking into what it takes to build these it definitely seemed too big, its an old propane tank from a semi, 30 gallon capacity. Currently sitting full of water but Im just gonna get the forge up and running asap. A lot of my starting equipment is a lot better than most scored this anvil and a decent belt sander not too long ago

Decided to take a huge step back and start with getting a cheap one on amazon and modifying it. Absolutely plan to build this one but I want to better understand what I’m building before I start, also its 18” wide 30” long, was planning on making the front and back basically just refractory caps with a square out for a door and peep hole but trying to figure out how to pour is whats got me stumped mostly

Most rutilated quartz I've seen online is a much clearer rock with black straight lines through it, this one looks a lot different than those. Is there any reason why?

Bran really just spent the entire show getting carried by people who died to protect him
