hmm... might have to do some reading. I know my forge will get hot enough to melt steel (found out where the saying 'too many irons in the fire' came from)
I don't have a crucible though. Would be great to be able to say you built a knife from raw materials though. Have done some Damascus and welded cable with my forge but need to track down a crucible..
