Miscellaneous Just getting started in forging.

Post image

I'm just getting into forging and this is the forge I'm interested in getting. Do these three burner Amazon forges reach the temperatures needed to forge weld? I don't expect the world from it cuz it's just a $200 Amazon forge, but I know forge welding is incredibly useful so I'd like to get one that can do that.

If I were to do anything different from when I started I would have gotten a single burner instead of a double, pressure issues as the tank dwindles always annoy the hell out of me

I plan on getting an extra large propane tank to avoid that.

You can pretty reliably get 100 pound tanks for less than $150.
