First when you start smithing the best thing to make is a drive hook. the reason for this is they show you all the basics for later projects.
it demonstrates the following; Finials,points,twists,and of course hooks.pic.1
Later Steak turners are also very simple to make the can demonstrate the half on half off technique and sheperds hook. pic.2
Now my favorite: Railroad spike knives the simplest of the knives yet they still can take hours, they often demonstrate the twist in the handle. pic.3
Finials most commonly found at the end of hooks, they are the little swirl on the end of most drive hooks.
Twists The spins in the metal, there are doubletwists- which are done all at once but spin opposite directions. And regular twists- just go one direction.
Points what could this be you ask? well its a point, usually for driving into hard surfaces.
Forge Building
Supplies:
1x firepot

1x length of metal tube First Put the blowing end of the dryer into the tube.
Second Hook the tube to the bottom of your firepot.

Make your coal fire in your firepot. Last when you need your fire hotter turn on the blowdryer and the air will flow to the fire.
