Rob Browne Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Now that is really lucky. I live not far from one of Australia's coal mining centres BUT actually getting small amounts of coal for a forge is really hard. No-one want to deal in the trailer load or bag.

ThomasPowers Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I've been given free coal before that was best used to fill in a muddy spot in the path. it actually had yellow streaks in it of sulfur visible to the naked eye. I hope yours is the good stuff! I used it in a trench forge I dug in my back yard to do some box folds in 3/8" plate to make a fire tray for the Santa Maria replica they had in Columbus OH. It filled the entire alleyway wall to wall with coal smoke you couldn't see through. OTOH a friend was once given a lot of free coke form an old house that used to have a coke furnace in it. I envied him on that gift; though it was a tad dirty having been sitting there a long time after they converted to a new furnace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
