We've added a tutorial on how to make a propane gas forge.

It's not too hard, it just takes some time. Feel free to use and develop the ideas. Details on how to make the burners coming soon. We accept not responsibility on the use of forges you make with this information. Please be careful.

Tharwa Valley Forge does make these forges to order complete with burner and gas fittings. See our shop for more details.

This course introduces the concept of forge welding cable to create patterns in the steel.  This not only makes attractive blades, but also a very tough, flexible blade that keeps a great edge. This process is called "pattern welding" or sometimes "Damascus" after the city which made the process famous.

The  finished blade is then etched in acid to bring out the patterns of the different parts of the cable - often with dramatic results.
