I built a take along forge, I was hoping to take mine to a hammering and have a smith that knew how use a forge teach me the basics so I could get on with forging without wasting coal..

Rob can you buy seacoal?

Tackit ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, now thats a cracking forge thoroughly enjoyed that slide show with my morning brew photo 28 /78 , clever ,you sure can fabricate ,love the wheels .



As John mentioned I could pick see coal from the beach if I wanted , but I just buy bags of coke form the coal merchants ,its only about £6 a bag . Sea coal is just normal coal that gets eroded from coal seams that are close to the surface of the sea bed or from the tailings from coal mines that get dumped at see , and ends up washed up on the shore line . I probable will be down there later today ,so I will see what I can fined .

Thank you Rob. I have some basic metal working skills but moving along slowly seems to be my best attribute, slow gives me time to think things along before I ruin material.

It's hard for me to find coal and coke where I live, I have to order it and pay to have it shipped to me in a cardboard box.

If you could show us sea coal that would great, it would be interesting to see something I've read good things about but not available here. .
