Hi Dave,
I use stock removal, but that is only half the process. I do a LOT of work sanding. I haven't made a forge, and nor do I have an anvil for such the thing.
There are a few other threads on stock removal, and it seems very effective, at least for most people's uses.
If you are on facebook, https://www.facebook.com/groups/RomanArmyTalk/ I have pictures on the RAT page where you can see progress reports.
Comments welcome.

P.S if you like those, here's a link to my in-progress belt thread: http://www.romanarmytalk.com/20-roman-re...l?start=30
The issues I am having with this is that next year I MAY get a metal lathe, and would like to wait to make my apron terminals to be made with it. As you can see I made my "frogs" disks using a drill. Wasn't easy...
