Baxter Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Got the forge going last night. Been reading a ton. This site has so much info it can be almost overwhelming. I learned so much made mistakes but kept moving forward. Doesn't seem like much but I'm pretty excited about what I did with a horse shoe I had lying around.

Frosty Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Welcome aboard Baxter, glad to have you. She looks HOT from here though electronic cameras tend to exaggerate bright colors. From here she looks to be mid high yellow hot. Nice job on the horse shoe. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxter Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Thank you Frosty. Is that too hot? Should I turn it down? I am certainly open to suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I don't think it's too hot for general work until you start getting thin. Remember, the thinner the stock the faster it heats. Turn it down when you need to. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey98118 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I think that Frosty meant your forge is hot enough to make an outstanding example. The heat can always be reduced, but a cold forge is the usual first effort we see here; congratulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
