ive got an old forge from like 1700^^ it's pretty cool :) ive done alot of knives, daggers and swords and stuff^^ they actually works ;P and are temperd and hardend ^^i really like what youre doing and sharing your knowledge with others :)
steel burns at 2000 degrees f your telling me that will get hot enough to hammer weld a steel part ? i'm a welder and wanting to do more with a forge setup it would help me a lot if i know more details about this if you could please -thanks-Derek
@cowsrcool7658, there are ways to use sand and ground up sea shells for flux as well, i think shells are used because of the lime in them so you might be able to use lime for it as well
@patrinrom Aha. :) It has the same meaning in hungarian also, but as far as i know, it's a slavic loanword in hungarian. The original one was vasverő or vasgyúró I do think.
i have a question. my forge is charcoal and made of bricks it gets very hot and i notice that the steel sometimes gets to hot that it turns into a sparkler, but the color of the steel is still yellow not white. is it still hot enough to forge weld with?
@cowsrcool7658 yes it is. do you have the forge outside with no covering over it if so it is harder to see the colors well.i will do a post on forge welding soon
