  1. Leaving the steel higher in the fire reduces oxydation? Does the quality of the coal affect it as well? I have noticed that lower temps seem to reduce scale, but that leaves less hammer time per heat and can cause stress cracks on smaller parts.
  2. anyone have any tips for minimizing forge scale and pock marks on your work?
  3. I have been using used peanut oil from a resturant with good results.
