Thanks for all your thoughts, I had a friend that told me beeswax was good,Which turns out to be false,i have since found stove polish works great. -
Alistair: Needing a big fire pot is the exception of course. Most folk who build their first forge tend to make them way too large. I sure did. ;) Good score on the forge and blower, I sure like seeing the old tools in use instead of rotting under a bunch of petunias or something. Jer
