Reply:That's really classic.Do you ever look on Metalweb, or the other midieval arms site.  I've seen some nice smithing stuff over there.  Also a cool homemade heating furnace project.First welds were with a hammer and anvil."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
Reply:Nice. I'm way to lazy to try something like that.
Reply:thank you all Tractapac my friend appreciated it enough to help me start up my own forge and build my portfolio with more commissions (which is what Im trying to do now) that was made at the smithy I used to work at.farmersamm Ive done little else but surf and eyeball blacksmithing on the web since I started  but I missed that homemade heating furnace project. I'll try to find it.I'll be heating my house with the (gas) forge and foundry furnace this winter, Im currently working on a cast monolithic refractory recuperator similar to this:http://www.pat2pdf.org/patents/pat4546827.pdfcurrently smithing is done outdoors with coal\coke, if I think I get get away with it, kind of suburban around hereLast edited by Ice Czar; 10-12-2008 at 03:27 PM.Will forge for foodcrash & smash, bash & mash, crush & bust & burn
