Harness the power of steel with a homemade forge

In this era of unending isolation, the only excitement I get is the thrill of discovering a new binge-worthy TV show to occupy my time. My latest infatuation is Forged in Fire, a three-round competition show that features bladesmiths from across the country crafting signature blades and weapons from the pages of history. Watching these artists push their metalworking skills to the limit as they transform scraps of steel into knives and weapons is truly inspiring. And despite the disclaimer at the beginning of each episode, all I want to do is build a forge for my workshop and add blacksmithing to my list of talents. In a recent video, Bob from the YouTube channel I Like To Make Stuff demonstrates how to build a propane forge for blacksmithing. Warning: Before you even consider building a forge or hammering steel, please consult with a professional blacksmith and make sure you have the proper training.
