    I've watched a lot of this guy's channel, and seen other similar forges. I wanted to make the soup can forge, but realistically I don't know what I'd do with one. I'd build this in a heartbeat if I thought I could use it for anything. What are food cans made out of now a days, still tin?

    I'm in the same boat Stu. I think it's cool as hell and I want to build one but have no idea what to make with it. Just looks interesting and fun. I'm hoping someone posts something inspiring.

    Here, this will give you some direction then. This guy's channel is very similar.

    Looks like his forge would handle most small black smithing projects. Knife making, heat treating...

    I made this a while ago. Maybe that forge could make arrow points for home made arrows?



    This bow takes about as long to make as it takes to watch the video by the way.

    Generally steel. Cheap, thin, low-grade sheet steel with an internal polymer coating to prevent it from reacting with the contents.

    I've got it! Build yourself a forge and have all the belt buckles you'll ever need!
