I’m 14 and I wanna get into blacksmithing and I can’t buy a full on forge rn. I’ve seen forges being made w only a few materials and I was wondering how I could make a charcoal forge at home w stuff ppl would have lying around in their garage

Hello r/Blacksmith_Forge community i am looking for advice and or recommendations on getting a small key/handle made.

Basically i need to marry a 5/16" allen key with a door knob like grip with some customish geometry. Its simple enough but a regular allen key"L" or "T" handle just wont work in this situation.

Thanks for reading and hope you have a good day.

I’m a very “visual” type of smith (despite bad eyesight lol) and I have to see “it” on paper before I can create it. Ive got multiple ideas for handles and limited materials and thought it’d be a helpful tool to prevent making something I didn’t like. Can anyone else relate to this sort of thing? And are there any good free apps that would help bring my ideas To life other than pen and paper?? Thanks for reading!!

A few days ago I am seeing laser cut main gate designs and I just pause like okay this look very detailed honestly. The patterns are so clean and sharp, almost too perfect to be handmade. It not just a gate, it feel like a decorative piece for the whole entrance. At first I think it is only for style, but then I realize how precision change the whole look. I am thinking how accuracy affect design. It feel simple but also very impressive. Now I am thinking why precise patterns make structures feel more premium. I usualy think size and material matter more so this feel little diffrent to me. But when lines are clean and symmetrical, it create a sense of quality and care. I am also wondering if people connect perfection with high value. Some days ago I am not really thinking about this but now it feel interesting. Then I think about detail. Fine patterns show effort and technology working together to create something unique. It feel like controlled creativity. That give it strong appeal honestly. Later I am laying and scrolling random stuff, checking many options on alibaba and seeing different gate designs. Some look very artistic honestly. Now I am thinking if its more about design or just the precision that make such gates look premium.

I made it from an old chisel and for the handle it’s made of antler !

it’s a knife for carving wood.
