haha... making a sword is pretty high on my list of things to do. I'll probably start off with a knife or two, though. Knives are easier than swords, being that they're smaller.

I'm pretty sure making a sword would be very cool.

Do not use briquettes, they are made mostly of sawdust with a clay binder that sticks to your work. If you cannot get coke or coal you need to use lump reall wood charcoal. There was no negative criticism here, just a helpful obsersvation.

Jacob -

Thanks! I've heard this from a few other people as well. I've been on the lookout for some coal, but I haven't been able to find any. Where does one buy coal?

There are a few places to obtain it. If you live in a mountainous area ask around to see if there was ever any coal mining done. If thats a no go some hardware stores sell natural hardwood charcoal(I.E. Lowes/Home Depot

what type of metal is needed to make a forge?

Michael - you just need something thick enough that won't melt when you get the coals hot. If you're going to shape the metal yourself, I'd say that something as thick as 16 gauge sheet metal would suffice.

You want to MAKE a forge?
