Sorry, I don't understand your posting. :-(

Since we don't know what state or country you live in, makes it difficult to provide advice. You could take it to your local blacksmith meetings and get help in forge welding it, depending on your location.

It looks like a good purchase to me, I don't see anything offhand to be concerned about.

In Junior High science class we would magnetize stuff, then unmagnetize by tapping it against the table. The teacher said that rapping it against the table unaligned the molecules. Before you try anything with electricity, you might wish to try rapping a hammer against the table to see if that works.

Traditional.... a wood fire, a flat rock for an anvil, a smaller rock tied to a stick with gut for a hammer, and either animal skins or bare for clothing, and of course only using meterites or bog iron for materials, and scratching feas and other crawling livestock during breaks.

Excellent! Thank you for sharing.

Either you are using rivets that are too long for your application, or you are not hitting them squarely in the center for your initial blows.

He has a giant corkscrew is in this thread, is it the one you are looking for?

Rich has a good point. Go for it.

As Stewart, Glenn, Steve, myself, etc have said forges need larger than 8". A forge is not a furnace and a forge is not a decorative fireplace. Eight inches is standard for standard applications, your forge is not a standard application. Just because they build house chimneys does not make them knowledgeable about forge chimneys. Bottom line, Sorry to say but Stewart, Steve, and Glenn are right and your contractor wasn't. I am truely Sorry.

Glenn you are doing a fine job, as is.

Unfortunately, the time to ask about flue size is before the chimney is built. As others have said, your chimney flue is too small, all other suggestions is the attempt to get around that.
