you should use raw wood for fuel

[edwyrd]

@Thenumber1tool the amount of wood to forge one thing would so much more then the equivalent of coal or charcoal, that it would be extremely expensive and wasteful, thank for the comment, Ed.

I love the manuel air blower you have there.

Was that an old air raid siren by chance?

[edwyrd]

@RDPproject No it is a purpose built commercial blower for blacksmithing.

@edwyrd Wouldn't it be a good idea to switch over to a propane forge? You can do same work for less money.

i use charcoal...i like it and it does get hot enough

[mrlisk1986]

Hey - can you give some more details on your forge set up? I looked through your channel and couldn't find anything. Looks like a good set up that I might want to duplicate - especially since you've had good luck w/ it using charcoal.

I've been making and selling knives for years; I;ve always used charcoal... works great.

@edwyrd Where can you buy them and for how much

[rc8rsracer]

@edwyrd yeah it is it goes through WAYYYYYY more wood haha

not sure where you are in the west....but if you come up to the Crow's Nest pass in South Eastern BC (Canada) thats major coal country. Historical town of Ft Steele usually has a supply from the 6 mines in the region.
