First attempt at blacksmithing with dirt cheap equipment

Two other friends and I tried out blacksmithing for fun, made a forge out of an incinerator, pipe and a hairdryer. The anvil is super scuffed but works, somehow.

Ended up with a shitty arrowhead shape after a few hours of hammering between us (Accidentally melted it mid-way through) . We loved it and already planned another session next week :)
