@modernblacksmith Thanks man! Can I just line refracting fire bricks inside an old grill for my first forge? Just have the airflow coming in the center like yours. Broke as a joke but ready to get going. Cheers.

@HIPPIE1255 self taught other than watching the world around me and lots of youtube videos....best school there is (also been a professional fabricator for twenty years) college trained welder

@clemenaugh the punch can be made from just about anything as long as it's tough (a sway bar from a big truck is best) temper well so it won't break in your face

Is the punch pointed or blunt, also what kind of steel is used for the punch, 4130, 4340?

OK so starting today I am going to take up blacksmithing! Gonna take step 1 today and go from there. Brake drum, pipes and elbows, vent fan/blowdryer, coal/charcoal, hammers, anvil(of some sort), stock steel, and inspiration(you gave me that already). Anything else you can suggest. Maybe I'll throw in some sugar and yeast and a water distiller for good measure.
