@ohvnaq Only slagpit furnaces were destroyed.

How do you manage to to weld the smaller lumps of bloom together into a larger piece before proceeding to beating out the slag? Thanks sutrar

I don't know much about this, so please excuse my ignorance :) :
- Was the liquid the slag?
- Was the glowing material that you lifted out of the liquid pure iron?
Thanks to whoever answers this! Great video, by the way.

Only the slag is liquid. he iron contains a lot of slag but very less carbon

why not use hammers to beat it . it s kind of rough with these large unshapely stones to pound hot bloom. let me guess, hammers were in the making

When you hit the bloom, the slags, you squeeze out, will ruin hammer and anvil.
And ofcourse: the first hammer on earth was a stone!
