Wyatt and I spent a large part of the afternoon forging with my coal forge. I was helping him get the feel for the hammer and he was trying to forge a 7 inch Bowie blade. I took some photos and thought I would post a few.
My forge that came from an auction.

A way to fuller the tang when you dont have a fuller tool handy.
