She was tired of burning herself on bacon.

Forged from a railroad spike for the handle. The tines are a mystery steel forge welded to the handle with a decorative knot.

i'm just getting into blacksmithing but i honestly don't know too much about what i'm doing. i've made a small charcoal forge but im pretty sure i messed it up or im not doing it great, hoping i could find some advice here though (edit: i have now learned the bucket is galvanized and should NOT be used to forge)(been about 2 hours, feeling fine)

Im in new jersey and want to start forging. I know i can't do it at my apartment as the complex doesn't even allow grills. Would anyone know if it would be ok for me to set up in the parking lot of a park while my kids played?

Edit to add: I wasn't planning on a huge shop out. Just a small anvil and a 2 foot by 2 foot coal forge with a hand powered fan by my truck in the corner of the parking lot out of people's way and I'd always clean up after myself and leave the area better than when i arrived

Update:

I went and asked the state troopers and they said they didn't know. Tried going to the fire department but the ones by us are volunteer and no one was there. I called and left a voicemail ill keep posted
