Dillon Sculpture Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 My Johnson forge is electronically controlled, (gas valve, igniter) so I wondering how to interface a thermometer? I would like to use it to forge bronze maybe even aluminum without the worry of losing the material. I have minimal electrical experience, and yes, I have been shocked by 220 before! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fe-Wood Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I was going to mention Whitney Potter's book too. I have worked in a few forges with his controls- They work great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
