That one is like mine and the raised letters in the firepot say "clay before using". If that is not done, the cast iron will burn out. I am a retired tool and die maker.
I used Kasen-it but I believe it’s not available anymore. There is a new compound that is used but I can’t give a review on it because I haven’t used it. It’s called Cherry-Red case hardening. You’re most welcome buddy!
@@mountainghost4523 I have used Cherry Red on several frizzens with satisfactory results... probably not quite as good as Kasenit... but it was pulled from the market due to cyanide content...
Thank you, exactly you control the heat 100% and you can go from warming a beverage to welding temperature in very short time. They’re handy for a multitude of projects! Thanks again
Thank you, it’s definitely a good forge. I haven’t really played around with different ways only to use a crucible with the kasenit in a campfire and also hot oil dipping which takes 2 heats and the second heat is dipped in room temperature water until the item is cool. They both work but the way I do it is quick and efficient for the time that I have. I’m always looking for cool ways to do things especially historically correct ones.

well done, I am definetely impressed how you did that, greetings from Germany.....
Thank you so much!! In the spring I’ll do one in a campfire. Greetings my friend!
Glad I saw this, sorry I missed it. The frizzin on my Pennsylvania is to soft, poor spark. Thanks Friend.

Appreciate the video. Good info.
Glad it was helpful! There are many ways to do it, I like simple and effective. Thank you!
That forge is great! So much more subtle control than a torch I imagine. Good info. Thanks

Excellent
Thank you I sure do appreciate it.
Very cool
Thank you! Thank you for watching I’m happy that you enjoyed it.
..That sir is a nice forge. Have you case hardened them in a container with some carbon material in a fire place/stove?

The crucible method is time consuming and takes a lot of practice. My try was a failure so I go with the other 2 methods for now lol.
