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.

It has been very windy and cold today so we decided that coal would be a nice change and give us a work out too. Thanks, Lin
