info on traditional forge

[Paulo K. Ogino]

Hi there!
I whis to know if anybody knows where I can find more detailed info -books, web pages, forums- about setting up a traditional japanese forge, measurements, tools, materials, etc. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Is there any diference on working with "modern" forges?

Thanks!!!:D

Modern forges typically use coal or gas as fuel. The traditional Japanese forges used today use charcoal. However, there's a lot of people forging custom knives in the US using charcoal now. If you're interested in that look at
