If you have ever thought about making a homemade metal working forge, then this is the article for you. We will give you a step by step guide on how to make your own homemade forge and even several other tips along the way
The first thing that we need to do is gather all of our materials. We will need an anvil, a small bellows, some charcoal and some sand in order to make our forge. Now, if you are going to be using a wood fire, then this will be easy enough. However, if you want to use charcoal or natural gas or propane, then it can get a little more complicated. However, it shouldn't be too difficult if you keep in mind what we are trying to accomplish here and how much work goes into making something like this
Once we have everything gathered up and ready to go, then it is time for us to construct our forge! First off, let's start with the anvil! The anvil should be made out of steel or iron and it should be about 3 inches thick at most. You could also go with aluminum if you wanted to save some money but still wanted something strong enough for hot forging applications such as blacksmithing or metal working in general
