keith-- you can make a forge out of just about any kind of bbq grill. you just need to add a blower to get metal to the hotter temps. a shop vac. is really to much air power. if you can find a old hand crank type; or bellows style works real good. and of course;; you need a anvil of sorts. some only weight just a few pounds and are cheep priced. others- well ;; can weigh over 200 pounds and cost more. be sure to wear some type of hearing protection!! that ringy dingy sound of a hammer;; on a anvil; can be heard for miles!!

Finished the scabbard to my camp knife. I like the holster style for mid sized knives

I have a cross cut metal saw blade I started to make into a knife years ago;; I need to finish it- some day! LOL!! I used a 90 grinder;; with a sanding disk; to remove the saw teeth. shaped it a bit; as well as started the knife edge. have to keep a bucket of water handy to keep dipping it! definitely do not the metal turning blue;; its a sign of taking the temper out of the metal!!

Nice job! Is that a splated maple handle? You've motivated me to finish my knife.
