    Hi lfuechtm - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

    What kind of engineering career did you have? Anything that might inform the forge build process? Do you see any forge builds on here that give you ideas?

    Hi lfuechtm,

    Welcome!

    What sort of blacksmithing do you enjoy? How large and hot would you require the forge to be?

    I am currently working metal sculptures. I'm planning on using a homemade forge to work and form railroad spikes, horseshoes, etc.

    A portable forge would be an interesting project, lfuechtm. I think quite a few members would like to see that. Welcome to the forums!
