I was thinking something like that would look great for flowers or leaves in a sculpture.
Same here. Once I get better I'll attempt that.

I kept it in the dragons breath for a couple seconds than pull it out let it air cool for a 5 to 10 seconds. And repeat until the metal is black and the marbles solidified. Than I did that a few more times. Than I left it on top of the fire brick on the forge for about 30min than I let it cool normally.

I'll have to take a new picture of it. But I melted them took roughly 15-20min to get all 6 of them to slump and slowly cool off.

I'll have to try that. Thanks.

Any tips on getting anthracite coal to light easier I fought it for about 45min before it would ignite.
-
I was thinking flexible aluminum dryer vent hose. If I can find it small enough.

It's the same size as the pipe.
-
Haha yea I realized the can was there. After I shut the forge off. That could've been bad. The forge seems pretty stable though.
I use propane mainly but I've always wanted to play with coal. Just have to tweak with this forge a bit.
Propane is easier but coal is more fun.

I like that idea for the paddle. But I need connect to the pipe first. I have to hold it onto the pipe.

Tripod style square tubing with angle iron to hold the anvil steady.

It has a loud but beautiful ring to it. Need to build a stand for it now.

I'm having a hard time dealing with it being flat and nice edges. I don't know how to use those.
We can hit her anytime!

It showed up Monday but there was a problem with the shipping payment from nimba. So I've been getting phone calls from both the last 2 days. All I wanted was the anvil it's so close I could smell it.
-
Anvil finally got here! But I have to wait until tomorrow to pick it up from the shipping yard. I will post pics of her when I get her home.

9am until the fires die off

I'll be at that one for sure. It's my birthday weekend so I'm excluded from being called in.
-
Not making it to the meeting. But I will bring my new baby to the next one.
2 weeks left until it shows up
-
For blades a and tools have you thought about micro forges?
-
Dang. I'm on call this weekend so I don't know if I can make it. I'll try.

Forged heart with first weld.

First forge weld the weld stuck isn't the prettiest weld out there and I think I hit it too hard and caused the top ton smush over while the middle welded. And i had some problems getting one side to bend over properly.
