ThomasPowers Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Well not prehistoric and not a foundry but an interesting bloomery find; I'll keep an eye on the journals for a more detailed write up; thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I remember how neat it was to go dig clay from a creek bed and chop old straw up and build something you could smelt iron in. If you do it "right" it doesn't take much. Trying to learn the "right" can take a lot of tries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
