Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make metal ingots for your own forging. Whether you are making knives, swords, animal heads or other goods for profit, this process is a great way to create precisely the size and type of bar you need
The first thing you*ll need is a hammer and anvil. You can find these items at most hardware stores or even at the local library. They*re affordable and easy to use. If possible, I would recommend using a blacksmith*s anvil as it is much stronger than a regular one
You can also use tongs to pull out your ingot from the fire when it has cooled down enough so that it doesn*t break apart when you pick it up by hand. Simply grab the handle with tongs and pull out the ingot from your forge fire; then place it on a piece of steel (preferably) for about five minutes until it cools down enough so that it doesn*t crack anymore; then repeat this process until you have all of your desired pieces ready for forging into different shapes before moving onto
