Guests: Dave Kurdyla

Sponsors: None

Summary: We discuss finishing damascus, tooling, presses, etc.

Here are some plans for coal forges, there are more pictures on Master Feed on The BuRn Network's website.  We mentioned them Bob Menard (ballandchainforge.com) was kind enough to pass these on from some New England blacksmiths (newenglandblacksmiths.org) and from his own experience with a portable forge he uses.  It breaks down small enough to fit into a car!  So, as always, thanks for sharing of yourselves and with each other.  We hope you find these plans useful.
