    Fantastic presentation!! I was a Westinghouse apprentice in the early '70s. We were trained in Swiss-style tool making, where almost all of the pieces we made had to be hand-finished. My Grandfather was an industrial blacksmith in the 1920s I built a small foundry and forge to play with, in my retirement. Unfortunately, I can only get anthracite coal where I live so to keep it hot I have to inject a small amount of propane to keep it lit. I'm waiting for the weather to warm up so I can use the tools I built. And as far as C.N.C. goes, check out some vids of the latest machining centers and be prepared to be amazed. I watched a guy on a 6 axis machine make a part that looked a lot like a pump impeller that I made 40 years ago. The time it took me to make one part was 19 hours. The time it took the guy on the machining center--3 min.

    @brianwilson4861 2 года назад

    I made a forge and I'm sure that it wasn't ideal but my goal was to forge weld two pieces of steel together. I was using charcoal and borax as flux and I never could get the two pieces to weld. After countless tries I bought some anthracite coal and I tried again. When I pulled the two pieces from the fire they were both shooting sparks and when I saw that I knew that they would weld. And they did. My problem all those previous attempts was that I just didn't have the metal hot enough. I've tried again with charcoal and once again I can't reach the temperature necessary. Is it possible to forge weld using ordinary charcoal. Or must you use coal? I was able to get steel so hot with coal that it would burn it up if I wasn't careful. Way hotter then I could ever get with charcoal. And reaching those temperatures and burning up the steel I can only assume that my fire was oxidizing. If my fire was neutral or carburizing I would assume that the steel would have melted and not just burned up. But I would think that with so much coal you couldn't make an oxidizing fire. How could you possibly get carbon rich if a pile of coal won't get you there? I guess you just use less air and heat longer to reach higher temperatures. Or I guess that maybe it's always oxidizing when you're reaching welding temperature and that's why flux is required. Maybe oxyacetylene is the only flame that can reach welding temperatures and still be a neutral or reducing. I think I just answered my own question.
