I saw this guy making a knife yesterday and thought I'd post the pictures of his little forge. It's the sort of thing that doesn't look too expensive, takes up very little room and could be used almost anywhere. As there are a number of knife makers on the forum I thought this would be of interest :-)
And no I can't remember the chaps name - I know I know I should have made a note but I had my camera with me not my organiser.
Anyway here are the pics :-)

very nice looking knives there. 

i like that setup...a little too hightech for me right now... Roll Eyes  i'm getting ready to setup a charcoal forge in the next week or two...

the real trouble for me is getting a decent anvil.  right now i have a heavy duty trailer hitch strapped to a log with some mild steel.

I just loved the simplicity and portability of it.
