    $42.45 forge, not the best but possibly the cheapest.

    So I'm blaming it on my Scottish blood but I've been determined to get some kind of forge going so I can HT my knives. But I was equally determined to do it as cheap as possible. This is what I eneded up with.





    Including the fule and the materials in the quantities as they were sold (I have enough left over the make another when this fails) it came in just over $40.

    Pretty chuffed with thathttps://www.instagram.com/p/BV1HYIxHqWz/

      Robbee,
      Mate, you must be a rich Scottsman. I made mine with a $20.00 hairdrier, a left over folding workbench, some left over pipe, and 2 x plates of steel that I got from the recyclers for $20.00 (including cutting to size with their Oxy torch cause I am too cheap to buy one myself). That means I spent $2.45 LESS than you. I would attach a photo of my forge, but that $2.45 I saved I paid for with UGLY.
