The modern forge. An ideal forge for use when electric power is available
So it is with all blacksmiths' work. There is not anything about it you can't do. Any boy can build his own blacksmith shop if he has a shed or shelter large enough to keep the rain from a forge, anvil, and some tools. You needn't have the big, old-fashioned brick forge like mine. Here is a picture of a portable forge that I can recommend. It can be bought at almost any store that deals in hardware supplies. It is small and handy and can be easily taken from place to place. You can buy any size anvil you wish. They come in all sizes, weighing from five pounds to five hundred pounds. Here is a list of tools which will do all the work, both ornamental and plain, which you may wish to do. Get this equipment, then build your shop.
