How to Forge a Flaming Arrow

This is a blacksmithing tutorial showing you step-by-step how to forge a fire arrow tip.

This arrow we make has a basket that holds a flammable material so you can light it and fire it.
It doesn't take a lot to make this arrow but there are a few very nice techniques that you will learn when making it. And I show you the whole process from start to finish.
In terms of materials all you need is a length of mild steel at least six inches long and a half inch in diameter either round or square.

I also have a web based tutorial for this project with pictures and more in-depth information on my website right here:
