| Did you use solid copper there? Or is it just a copper cap? Im contemplating using a hunk of copper for a knife Im going to put a handle on. I think it would look pretty neat... - Cool guy wrote:

| I have several home built forges and a trashcan furnace for casting. I have done a LOT of tutorials to teach folks how to build a backyard foundry and forge from junk | |

| I participated in a "Knifemakers support the Boyscouts" deal where a bunch of us knifemakers made Nessmuk type knives for a boy scout troop in Ohio. These are the two I made for them the traditional one (replica) ![Some of my Knives 01today019-1](https://2img.net/h/i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt192/Phoenix1967_photos/01today019-1.jpg) and my version ![Some of my Knives 01today013-1](https://2img.net/h/i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt192/Phoenix1967_photos/01today013-1.jpg) | |

| Wow, that's some nice work! I've seen good and seen some pretty ugly blacksmithing and you've got a good style going on. The laminated handles are cool too. Ever think of making handles out of deer antlers? | |

| Nice work! Blacksmithing is a lost art but its cool to still see someone doing it, especially if the SHTF. Everyone should carry a knife of some type or another IMO. What knife would you recommend as a all purpose side carry? Im talking like a bowie or what a soldier would have. | |

| The best knife you own, is the one you have on you when you need it ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif) That said, I prefer a 5 to 6 inch moderately thick (1/8 to 3/32) single edge with a straight edge and a curve. Bowie point comes in handy, but a drop point is stronger. A knife like that isn't great for every task, but it will accomplish most tasks. I kinda like simple straight back knives like this one I did for a mountain man ![Some of my Knives 0tradelist_0003](https://2img.net/h/i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt192/Phoenix1967_photos/0tradelist_0003.jpg) ![Some of my Knives 0tradelist_0005](https://2img.net/h/i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt192/Phoenix1967_photos/0tradelist_0005.jpg) | |

| Sad part is... Im not quite sure where they are at this point.
Im planning to build a simple brake drum forge at some point... though, that one you posted about lawren, was it yours? Made from an air tank? Would you mind posting that again? Thats a possibility too.
What are some other simple designs? | |
