Mark, and anyone who coerces hot metal into shape,
I am trying to get my wish list together for my next phase of bladesmithing.
Could you recommend minimums on good tooling to get forging? (overkill is good too)
Anvils, size, weight, type
Hammers
Tongs
Ovens
Fuel types for those ovens
Gloves/safety equipment
All of the things I am not aware of
Any advice would be great!
(Well, not great for my wallet, but we ignore that as much as possible)
T.W.
