I need help guys. I just recently bought a rivet forge And a lot of other various tools from my mechanic At work. It’s my first forge and I just recently got into smithing.
So I used it a couple of times and everything is going good, it’s a very simple set up, just the forge, coal and a hair dryer that I set into the air inlet.
I got to working on a my first attempt at a chefs knife or just a kitchen knife for my wife today and notice embers and fireflies out of the bottom of the pan, wellllllll I got down there and start looking around and the air inlet evidently was more rusted than I originally thought, and it has broken off the pan. I want to try and save this forge as I really enjoy using it, does anyone have ANY idea how I might be able to save it?
might I add that ANY idea at all I will accept just please help!
As a note, I was too stoked and excited when I got the forge that I was ignorant and didn’t think to try and fix problems that might have been present before I started using it.
Talk about a Homer Simpson idiotic moment.
