The beauty and inviolability of forged objects leaves few indifferent. Openwork window grills, fences and stairs look elegant and respectable. The gate of the house is the first thing that a person pays attention to when approaching the estate. Creating forged gates is hard and painstaking work requiring skill and certain knowledge.
Necessary tools and materials for forging
At all times, the main tools of a blacksmith were a forge, anvil and hammer. The hot forging method has an obvious advantage over cold technology. It allows the implementation of any, even very complex elements. But for this purpose, a blacksmith's hearth will be needed, in which gas is used in modern times to maintain high temperature. And even if you have the opportunity to purchase this equipment or take it for a while, you should not try to master it without having the skills in such work. Forged gates can be made using a welding machine in a way called the cold forging method. In addition to the electric arc welding apparatus, you will also need a grinder with a circle for cutting metal and devices for twisting metal workpieces. In addition, a vise and a small auxiliary tool are useful.
