What tools are needed for blacksmithing
highlander replied to Glenn's topic in Tools, general discussion
Don't got too full of yourself. The more you tell yourself that it is going to be easy to learn, the more disappointed you will be. Instead, motivate yourself to want to learn no matter what. No matter how many failures, keep on trying. -

Mom has set fire to the kitchen AGAIN!

Wrong. You have 3200 posts on this forum. You should know how this site works by now. You should know that the mods are here to keep the site clean and safe. They aren't the gestapo. Paul B made a semi-personal attack towards the mod, and the mod replied with equal verbal tenacity. The purpose of the numbered mod names is so that the mods may patrol the site with anonymity. The view from your high horse must be obscured by something. -

sorry joseph, I have to agree with frosty. try going to your eye doctor and try to get safety lenses in a frame that looks a little more period correct than the modern $3 safety glasses.

catalyc converters and smelting.
highlander replied to wulfgar's topic in Blacksmithing, General Discussion
i believe that they are full of chrome, which is very hazardous to your health when hot/molten. i would leave that to professionals personally. lets see what others say -
i am curious of this too, i have 5 or 6 i was thinking of cutting up for paring knives, but have been unsure.

This is a public forum, and that information is not good to post online. I suggest you edit that phone number out of your post, and send it to SteamLemming in a private message.

i'd get a 220v outlet installed and go that route for a welder. 110 is just too underpowered for most uses what do you plan to weld
