It’s cool and windy today (but the ground is wet, so sparks aren’t an issue), so I lit the charcoal forge and started on a classic French style carving knife.

Hmm, it sort of works. I’m not happy with the mating of the rail to the frame. Might need to think of a more sturdy fitment.

Well, the first test firing shoes the concept works.
I need to build a stand ‘cause it is too high when in the regular forge.

However, it does heat right along the length which is what I need.
