Just guessing here, but you're probable heel striking. I.e. your foot comes forward too far and you're landing on the heel of the foot first. Shorten your stride so your foot lands under your body mass on the ball of your foot. Leaning forward slightly can also help. Practice by jogging slowly barefoot on your treadmill.…

My right knee has been bothering me for about a week and a half since i stepped in a hole in a client's yard and wrenched it slightly. Didn't think much about it at the time, but it has begun bothering me more and more each day, particularly while driving. It's a general ache but with localized pain about the size of a…

Actually did this last weekend. Using corn as forge fuel (note flames in background are being drawn sideways into forge hood). (Wife took this while I wasn't looking.)

Thanks for the responses. @UncleMac Most of America's bread basket is located in the great plains area where only native grass sod was turned under the plow. Other than that, my only comment is... SHH! X-nay on the ossil-fay uel-fay. Next thing ya know, people will be finding out the nearly all feed corn is GMO. @AnnPT77…

Question for the group. Having seen a few of the items I've forged, would you be more likely to buy one if it was forged using a renewable 'green earth fuel' like corn as apposed to fossil fuels like coal and propane, or a deforresting fuel like charcoal? Is 'Green Earth Fuel' a selling point or not?

Couple of summer storms have past and flue is still standing. B) Managed to get out and start a fire in the forge this morning using feed corn, a renewable "green earth" fuel (rather than fossil fuel coal) and knocked out this blacksmith knife with my son. He then did the grinding on an old Craftman belt/disk sander. Not…
