[TheForge] Re: starting blacksmithing

[LrdThorolf at aol.com]

When I started to blacksmith I used a Coke forge. I lived In   Phoenix,AZ. It 
has lots of anti- pollution  laws there. I  liked the  coke forge but I  
finally got a propane forge and have liked it ever since.  I can  put a load of 
steel  in it and keep  it hot and work the  pieces as they get hot without 
having to worry about some "Pollution Cop"  knocking on my door for adding smoke to 
the air. Plus I can turn down the  heat to keep my pieces hot and not having 
to worry about them getting  to hot. The propane forge will hold heat for 
awhile if I shut it off and is  ready to work in about 5 minutes.
Best part of it I down get coal dust up the nose or lungs. I don't  like or 
want Black lung disease.
