48willys Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Well I finally got to try real coal in my new forge.Wow it sure gets hotter than my rivet forge ever did :cool: Also burnt my first piece of metal with it,I threw a 1/2" rod in the fire to make a quick fire poker for the forge and burnt the end right off before I knew what happend. I need to find out what I did wrong with my weld I tried to do,it didn't really stick together good because I was able to pull it apart.I guess I might have burnt it to,because the fist time I pulled it out it was sparking alittle,but I'll figure it out. But over all it went good,sorry I didn't get any pictures.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48willys Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 .It could have been the metal to .I have no Idea what it was,from looking at it I would say it is as bad as rebar if not worse,I used it because it was at hand and I'v never tried to do a weld so I'm not to hurt that it didn't work .So I'm going to try some better stuff this time.
