An old car heater can make a good blower, but you need to be able to ajust the speed or you have no control. You also need a power source. The hand cranker mentioned here would be better, I think.

Thanks. I can't wait to see what he thinks. well i guess i'll start saving some money and talking to my parents about it. as for charcoal i have a couple friends who have fire pits so i should be set on that.

Absolutely, though the issue is being able to harden and temper the blade, which you will need a much longer firepot for. As far as forging the blade, it can happen.

gotcha. i have one of those old fashion hand-air pumps. the one with the handles on the sides. so it looks like I'll be using my old hairdryer

Nope. Lead melts at 600F and the absolute bottom end for forging is 1300f. You have to have an air blast of some sort so the pit by itself wont cut it.
