Mikey98118 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I think about these changes a lot, but each new generation has to consider what to keep and what to discard, while the latest generation of idiots try to convince them that "it's a brave new world" and other hogwash. machinistalk, I like the way that burner is working in that particular forge. It is plenty hot enough, but also has a soft flame. A soft flame doesn't need to be precisely positioned in order to avoid hurting the heating stock. Loads of guys will find that to be a valuable contribution to forge building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinisttalk Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Well... I definitely have a new respect. This is the first time I have ever banged on hot metal. There are a lot of different things to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
