I made a two brick forge today because I wanted to heat treat one of my knives and didn't want to light my coal forge just for that, especially because it's so hot. It worked beautifully. In a very short amount of time, my knife had an even colour all over the blade, and it hardened perfectly with no warping. I'm tempering in the toaster over right now.
Unfortunately, it's not big enough for my big Bowie knife. I don't know how I'm going to heat treat this knife. I hate to send it off to be heat treated because I'd be paying a lot of shipping just for one knife, and I'm a tight wad. I'll probably hold on to it for a while until I figure something out.
