I guess so! Hey, go read through this guys article: www.haraldthesmith.com/an-introduction-to-iron-smelting-part-i-theory/ There are multiple parts, the next is linked at the bottom each time. Super helpful :D
I honestly haven’t the faintest idea. But if it’s not a de-oxidizing reaction, I would think not? You probably want to actually melt the ore in a crucible, whereas a bloomery furnace doesn’t quite liquify the iron particles.
Yep! Usually I get to go to Pennsic and spend a whole lot of time being a bard around camp fires and going to sessions with other musically inclined folks. So I’m dying to do more singing. Probably wouldn’t if I wasn’t worried about copyright and such.
Roughly even parts sand and clay if I recall correctly. I would recommend whatever is easiest to come by - I used “clay dig out of the ground that I did not attempt to separate the regular dirt from” brand clay, and that worked just fine! Definitely don’t make it fat at the bottom though, I burned way more charcoal than I should have because of that.
To be fair, you weren't ever up on the mic, I boosted the gain a lot in some cases to make us audible. I've got some of refining the bloom on the gopro, its weird to figure out how to incorporate it sometimes. But yeah, gotta catch up in all the footage I've been taking. It'll show up.

It was pretty great! I'm working on the next days video now and its neat looking back at it. It was a good time :)

Idk how you only have 3.5K subs with the quality of your videos you should have at least 2 million.
It'll get there :) Glad you're enjoying my work and thanks!

@@BennettTheSmith You're living my dream, blacksmithing as a job and doing all the other awesome things you do. Keep up the fantastic work!
I know a guy who knows how to blacksmith bottle openers... I could introdu..., oh, never mind, I think you know him :P
What’s the ratio of sand to clay that you use? Also is there a brand you would recommend for the clay?

@@BennettTheSmith awesome. Thanks man
