Herdebreid Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Hello everyone, I've got a kind of weird question, I'm trying to find when was the first bottom draft/blast forge use. I don't need the exact date but a rought time line would be great (ex.: middle of the 12 century). So if someone know anything, please let me know, thanks.

pkrankow Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I am fairly confident that side blast came before bottom blast. Side blast can be merely a ditch and a pipe. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Best guess is around 1300 BCE. The start of the iron age. Forges were in use before the iron age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
