    Mr. H.H., What a fascinating subject! I did a little "research" into this subject and pulled up numerous (pertinent?) references. For example, try, Nickel Separation from Iron : chemistry (reddit.com) Also, United patent number U.S. 4042474A. There are many other references concerning this subject, For example try, the results in. separating nickel from iron at DuckDuckGo Cheers, SLAG.

    JHCC, Thanks. I was mistaken. Ouch. Time for a stiff cup of coffee. SLAG. But does 'siliconE' figure, anywhere in this discussion?

    Mr. H. Hammer, There is an ocean of difference between 'siliconE carbide" and 'silicon carbide". The former does not exist. i suspect that there is a typographic error here. Hopefully, it is not a lack of knowledge and experience.. Foundry work is inherently dangerous. Experienced workmen have been killed doing same. SLAG,

    New made vises

    SLAG replied to George Geist's topic in Vises

    Kanca anvils are very pricy. I suggest that you look around for a second-hand vise. in my personal experience post vise anvils are not that rare. Just sayyin, SLAG.

    Mr. N. Debt, Do a patent search in Google. It is a very good service, free, and you will avoid the Patent Office romp. SLAG.

    Folks, In my experience, creativity was avoided at all costs and I.Q. was severely rationed, in the military. SLAG.

    Mr. Nodebt, Permit the SLAG to offer a suggestion. Do a patent search for barbed wire and barbed wire production machines. I suspect that there are many such patents. It is a very good place to get ideas. Try Google patents, for your search. SLAG.

    BGD,, In addition to 2 or more mines you will have to provide a field. With apologies, SLAG.

    stormccrow is a member of I.F.I.. he has not visited for a while. His name is Helms (I forget his first name). He lives in San Antonio Texas. a search on this site, (using the name stormcrow will find his page. Or you may wish to search http:/helmforge.blogspot.com will also get you good results. His old net name was rainy raven. You may wish to search, using that moniker on this forum and also the old "keenjunk" site archived in the www.way back site. Happy hunting! SLAG.

    Mr. 4575, Nice set up. Nice job. Thank you for sharing. I am a little way to constructing one. We have a resident cat, and I will be buying a large container of Tidy Cats litter on Monday. Regards, and welcome to I.F.I. and have a wonderful 2022. SLAG.

    Mr. Clement Roux, Welcome to I Forge iron. Stick around, here, you will meet meny great prople and a vast amount of information. Are you located in France or, perhaps Quebec, province? (Canada). Happy new year, that is imminent. SLAG.

    Mr. Dragon, Could you quickly rinse the tomato juice off and quickly run a little baking soda/water solution over the blade whilst you are in the frantic heat of culinary battle? And then come back to said knife when you are not so hectic, to properly clean the blade? But wait a minute Mr. SLAG, you may like the etching of said blade. Just a stray thought. SLAG. p.s. Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful productive, interesting, and healthy new year.

    Mr. JHCC, High dose aspirin can do a number on the kidneys. So moderation is recommended. SLAG

    Mr. W. B., Welcome, Greetings from Saint Louis, Mo. You have come to the right site. Smithing is the most relaxing activity that I have ever done. It's also very rewarding! Have a great Christmas, and an enjoyable, and prosperous 2022, and keep hammering. SLAG.

    Herr Frosty, The tornados missed Iowa. They hit central east Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois and Kentucky. It passed about two miles west of our house in St. Louis. Mo. is no stranger to tornadoes. We have a basement and a lot of insurance, which may help next time. Many houses, here, do not have basements. Regards to all. SLAG.

    Mr. Dragon, Thank you very much for your woad reference. It was very informative and good reading. SLAG.

    Mr. Powers is correct The. color blue was very expensive. Some used the mineral/gemstone lapis lazuli. that is why paintings of long ago, depicted the blessed virgin Mary in blue garments. Woad was used in England in the sixteenth century and probably much earlier. The plant mass had to be subjected to a complex series of fermentations. Read costly dye/pigment for blue. Indigo dyes were expensive too. I remember viewing an eighteenth century country mansion. The wealthy owner's workmen used hundreds of pounds of blueberries to get the dye for the manor's walls. And they hadn't faded that much in 300 years! Regards to all, SLAG.

    Mr. JHCC, Has this wonderful instrument (the said "lobotomizer"), been put to good use yet? Curious SLAG.
