I builkt a coffee can forge and have made a pair of tongs out of 3/8 rod....and am in the progress of making a 1/4 inch or so wide socket chisel out of an old long drill bit....and I beat a pretty nice square tapered scratch awl out of a piece of 3/8 rod.
My projects are not perfect but I am practicing developing skills and making good useable tools at the same time.
I only have a inch thick 3 by 10 steel bar for an anvil but am working on finding a small anvil.
I love metal I worked with it on and off for years its a young mans trade. I can relate with you on quite a few of your answers especially the business I have the ideas but not the business motivation.
I work with plastics now weld it turn it machine it just like steel but much lighter.
I cant keep away from steel tho I tinker with it most weekends if I get the time.
