Hello to all, new here, been dabbling with knifemaking for about ten years as I had time between work and life. Did not have a lot of time to warrant buying the good stuff, but I just retired and I'm going to try to make up for lost time now.
I've gone from a railroad track anvil to just purchasing a 152# Peter Wright london pattern anvil, am getting ready to pull the trigger on a KMG grinder and am looking for a gas forge that will be sufficient as my skills and ambitions grow. Hoping I can get some input from you experienced folk as so far, I have only used a diy charcoal fired contraption I threw together.
I'm interested in something that will allow me to worke my blades, weld and temper after completion. I have a budget of about $600 set aside for the forge.
Thanks for your input.
