The Blacksmith

[Cstrife234]

A lot of people don't realise, but when you're forging...it's essential to have ear and eye protection. All that ping panging can screw your hearing up. Looking into the fire can also damage your eyes, so using industrial shades is really a good idea.

if you turn that blower off from time to time you will save a lot of fuel

I could be wrong but that is a vintage Bob Patrick video. Go Bob. I think of you often

I am dissapointed... I didn`t see a final product... just some curl.

[ziggy2070]

what were you making?

[Brasilikilt]

Whoah..........coal must be CHEAP where you live!

[Cstrife234]

@Brasilikilt Coal or Charcoal? Charcoal isn't that hard to render yourself.

[Brasilikilt]

@Cstrife234 I have used both, but prefer coal as it lasts a lot longer. I live in timber country and could make up a big batch of charcoal, but it wouldn't be terribly convenient to make and transport the quantities needed.

Blacksmithing = Epic win. ^^

[LordVilhelm]

@CidSilverWing Blacksmithing sure is, in my opinion, one of the most fantastic professions of all. I am actually training to be a blacksmith now in Sweden. Such a great way to make work of your imagination. Epic win indeed!
