There are many methods of making a metal forge, but this method is superior to all others. In this quick guide, I will show you some easy steps and provide links where you can get the necessary tools to make your own metal forge
1. A flat piece of steel or iron should be purchased at a local hardware store or scrapyard. This is the base for the forge, which will support the rest of the materials and tools needed for your project
2. You will need
- A hammer - A hammer is one of the most important tools when making a forge because it makes holes in metal for welding purposes. Hammering is sometimes called pounding or beating; it may also be referred to as chewing as it breaks down metal into smaller pieces (or bites)
- An anvil - The anvil is used to strike or hammer the base piece into shape so that it fits together properly with other pieces in order to form a completed forge and grill.*
