    High Speed Steel is a category not an alloy designation, could be M2 could also be other things

    I pay IFI a percentage for every book sold through IFI, but I only get $2 from an Amazon sale and IFI gets nothing from them. your choice The pay pay account is in the first line for how to order and benefit IFI in the process :)

    When you joined you were directed to read a few things, then you signed a legal document stating you read and agreed to follow our rules. We are serious about them, Language is one of those, this is a G rated family friendly forum watch your language, I edited out your mistake

    you seem to be confusing the terms for forge and furnace, you need to use correct terms to get correct answers, they are not the same, As for your other issue, 120v isnt going to get very much power on a standard 15 or even a 20 amp circuit because they only have 1800 and 2400 max watts respectively

    A gallon of fry oil doesnt cost much less than a gallon of real quench oil

    Did you look in the folding knife section? I will relocate this post there for you

    do NOT use plastic for the quench bucket its needs to be a fire- and melt- proof container

    he said he TIG welded up a 2”x2”x4” canoe. how small a forge does he have? thats hammer head size

    I have made damascus hammers in my coal forge, its not the coal forges fault, its your technique, keep practicing and rotate more often after it starts getting yellow, and use a hand hamer to set the weld

    Dont be so full of yourself, You started by joining a new forum and 2 of your first 3 posts are complaining that we dont do things your way, even after the bad start you havent stopped complaining

    also it seems this has nothing to do with foundry's, but gas forges, so I will move this to where it belongs
  16. Steve Sells
    Making demands of people to keep things to themselves isnt a good way to make friends here, you can turn off the vale for the second burner if you have one, but the foundry may have been designed for 2, and PSI depends on the burner, and how you built your foundry

    Ray is our favorite, Have you noticed he has taken a few kids under his wing to mentor? that is so cool of him

    be aware 9 inches square translates to a max length including tang of about 11 inches on the diagonal, so larger will need other methods, if that is a problem.... I recommend you just pass and send it to me. Where do you want the $200 sent for it?
  23. Steve Sells
    Of course, because its lame to keep looking for it after you found it (I know because I have done that too)

    Arkie is isnt hard to get registered for a tax ID, contact your state dept of revenue list it under DBA your forge name.

    Arthur has a match book with a warning written on it about the bar/planet getting blown up, again, I believe it was in Mostly Harmless that he didnt understand at the time, only later did it make sense
