Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've posted over here. Got a quick question. Does anyone have any tips for forging chef knives? I tried on a piece of 1/4x1 cru forge V. But man it was a bear. This is what I got. Top piece is little over 1.75in wide and 8in long
Hey everyone! Haven't posted over here in a while. Well I'm trying to forge a chef knife all I had was some 1/4x1in CFV so thought I'd give it a shot. Man with a 55lb Chinese anvil this was a bear! But I gotta say I really enjoy forging. Well if you more advanced gents could give me tips on how...

Thanks for looking that up for me ed. That's what I was figuring is the 2hp will run at 1.5hp on 110v but I gotta go up to 220v to get the full 2hp. I'm a buck 50 soaking wet so I'm sure 1.5hp will be plenty
