I recently decided to make a small metal forge after hearing about them on a podcast. I wanted to create one that could be used by me, a DIY'er at home, so there were no high-priced tools and no special knowledge required. In this article, I'll go over why you'd want a forge like this, what materials you need to create one of your own and show you step-by-step how to build your own
Why Make Your Own
If you're looking for ways to use metal without having access to an expensive forge or blacksmiths then this project is for you! It's also great if you're just interested in learning more about the process of smithing or making things out of metal
You can use it for any type of work: shaping swords, knives and other blades; creating jewelry; building furniture or art projects; even making weapons from scrap metal.
