As said fire tools , what are your interests reenactment , art? , functional
? just like to hit steel? . make what you wish lack of horn will matter
little. practice welding in my book this is to skill learn early. I learned
it the second day in school. Upseting another useful skill to master.  Play
hard and make shit... err stuff

Subject: [TheForge] Advice for a beginner.

I'm planning on starting my coal forge up for the first time in about a
month.  I think I have enough coal for a small project.  I've made an "s"
hook and a rather ugly leaf with the over site of a much more experienced
smith.  I have a piece of rail road track, a forge, a cross pein hammer, a
pair of vice grips, and a ton of rebar (not ideal I know but better than
nothing for a beginner).  As the RR track doesn't have a horn I don't think
I can make an "s" hook.  What projects would be a good starting point for
the experience and equipment I have?
