Tear out Kast-O-Lite, or add another layer?
Mr Moose replied to JHCC's topic in Insulation and Refractories
The 2300° temperature rating is what I would be concerned about. I believe white heat is appropriately 2200°. -
What did you do in the shop today?

JHCC, during startup may work, but after its at forging temps I bet it would be instant charcoal. -

I don't think I can turn my forge down enough for cooking. -

Parchment paper would work a treat. May want to use 2 layers for more clearance. -
A collection of improvised anvils
Mr Moose replied to Charles R. Stevens's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
Fine looking Anvil and stand. Good work. But I agree that it is too clean. -
I agree with Buzzkill about the gate valve for air control. I have a speed control on me setup and I found that this is not enough. Needed less air. Added a shutter to the blower inlet and it was not enough. Added a gate valve to the air inlet at the burner tube and that finally gave me the control I needed over the air flow. A shutter on the blower intake will lower the load on the blower motor. A gate valve would be were I would start. Cheap and easy.

Thanks for saying that GuardedDig2. I was starting to think that I was alone in the belief that if you set your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. The last hammer I made was 4 3/4 lbs of 4340 goodness. Nice rounding hammer that loves to move hot metal. As for keeping it still, you could try a saddle to set the stock in with a shank for the hardy hole.

Mineral oil will work and is food safe. It is sold in ths pharmaceuticals isle as a laxative.

Show me your dinner gong/bell/triangle
Mr Moose replied to ausfire's topic in Blacksmithing, General Discussion
Ausfire. The 3 different lengths are like playing a cord on a guitar. While the whole thing does vibrate, the different lengths causes a different harmonic. As for the shape, I would think it is a case of function before form. A flat "bell" takes up very little space. -
Correction... Indrustrial metal sales.
