ITT: people missed to poke fun at "blacksmithing"
Who on earth is blacksmithing as a hobby? Is that even possible except if your occupation is actually being blacksmith? Like, would you set up blacksmithing equipment in your garage?
Yes. One of my coworkers has done exactly that.
That's good to know. But I can imagine the electricity bill.
Blacksmithing is mainly done with coal, not electricity. So just imagine all the dust in addition to cost for that instead =)
I don't want to.
Propane forges are pretty cheap. The real money is in the anvils..
Interesting, I didn't know these existed. Thanks!
Yeah! For sure. You can pick up a little 3 venturi one for knife making for under $200. I'm no expert by any means, but I have my fun.
To start blacksmithing you need a space to pile up some charcoal, hairdryer and a tube, a hammer and tongs + something that can be used as an anvil(i have used a piece of old railway on a log
Yeah you can easily set up a home forge.

Knifemakers typically.
you should watch forged in fire. the best competition show ever
"Metal Fabrication"
I have friends that 3d print and woodwork, plus one who was setting up a forge to smith when life threw some bad stuff at him (fire, car accidents, etc). It doesn't seem strange to me. Lots of people like hobbies and smiting/knifemaking seems relatively popular, if a bit expensive.
On the other hand that woodworking friend had a whole lathe so a small forge doesn't strike me as odd. A bit of googling suggests you can get some backyard forges between $70-300, and can just DIY and make your own. By contrast my camera (OM-D Em1 Mk III) cost me somewhere between $1.5-2k, with just one of my lenses also costing $1.5k.
My GPU also cost that.
