Rcrew Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 If the indains would have had a forge an a anvil they would not have had to build those sweat lodges. Over a hunderd in Mississippi and humidity is so bad that there was a catfish swam thro the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecelticforge Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I was thinking about making a swamp cooler to blow cooler air over the forging area. I got new tires yesterday and they had a fancy portable swamp cooler there and it helped a good bit. I recon a basin, pump, hoses, and cooler pads would turn the trick.

ThomasPowers Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Swamp coolers work best when the relative humidity is below 30%. OTOH they do move a lot of air and that generally helps no matter what the humidity is. We use them exclusively here in NM, USA and on days where there is single digit humidities they blast out *cold* air; but you can tell when the humidity is "high" as they lose cooling power.

CBrann Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 This is the time of year where I wish you could just reverse the polarity on an electric furnace, so it blows cold air instead of hot air.... doesn't work I know.. but its a good thought. ....
