Review on GF300 Propane Forge: Full Stainless Steel, Single Burner Gas Blacksmith Tool For Knife, Sword, And Candle Holder Making. by John Shitifano

I have recently bought a large forge and plan on creating iron ingots out of iron sand that I find on my property. I realized I had a huge amount of this sand on my property when I was dragging a magnet around my land looking for nails so I wouldnt have to worry about driving my quads or cars around said property. I gathered about 2 lbs in about 10 minutes. I then came up with the brilliant idea of melting into ingots an making ore bars that I could use down the road. I did purchase a large forge but after I got it I realized that this was overkill. A smaller forge would do the job and this is where this forge comes in.I like this forge a lot. It is small, easy to used and my ingot molds fit into the thing perfectly. I get what I want in a smaller version of the bigger forge I do have and it is just easier to use. Basically, you stoke up the forge, get it hot, use tongs, gloves and possible a face shield to put your metal into the forge. You let it do what you want. You remove said metal and do what you want with it with the tongs and gloves. If you are done then you can rinse and repeat. If you need more heat on the metal you put it back in.This is an very convenient item to use if you are looking to do small projects. You do need propane but that is pretty much par for the course. You can get a coal fired forge as well but this is good for smaller projects. This is very dangerous, never forget that. You need the proper tools and attire to use this and you will get hurt if you dont. Regardless, this is a very nice forge and if you are looking into getting into this area of work this is a good way to get into it.
