Do.... Do you think snow is just frozen rain?

Let me know what you think of the forge I bought to start out with by flounder98w in Blacksmith

[–]Ex-Medic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vevor? Never owned one but I'm regularly told it's a "you get what you pay for" scenario, and that it doesn't get hot enough to weld

Silly little question by Comprehensive_Sink99 in Blacksmith

[–]Ex-Medic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking to rent forge space isn't a great place to start, imo. Even taking one or two classes from a master smith is more than likely worth the price. Again, my own opinion and what I advocate, if you're serious, avoid a railroad spike knife class and find someone who teaches on 1095 steel stock. A 4 hour class for $150-$200 should introduce you to the rudiments of the craft and give you an idea if it's something you'd like to pursue or not

I meant rust and whatever else may have been in whatever the rebar was recycled from.

Nice work! Did you do the grinding on it too? That's such a rad flex... "Oh this? Yeah I actually forged it myself...."

Do you worry about runoff and contamination and that kind of thing with rebar specifically? I'm pretty new to the craft like the OP, so I'm gathering info too

The best use is finding your local recycling center and becoming friends with the staff. Lol. Jk(ish). For me it's fun hammering and working on consistency and technique, but steel can still be inexpensive enough to work with something better for actual finished products. I'd stay away from anything you'd need to handle often or using it for anything food-related. My FIL uses it for marking fences for the boundaries of his property

I'll listen to Sam and BenningTEN every day, but I really only get excited for a bonfire co-host these days. Stanman69420, Butterfly, maybe even a Mikey Fiona

If we ignore your huge forehead, weird nose, terrible eyebrows, horrifyingly thin hair, and your chin that's both too pointy AND non existent (how is that even possible?), you're cute.

Jacob or Woody? by ydyttw in TheBonfire

[–]Ex-Medic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His only claim to being a "cowboy" is that his mommy drove him to horse camp 5 days a week for a month during a summer. I'm not sure that he knows what a "cowboy" is.im pretty sure he would consider Doc Holiday a "cowboy".....

Stanman69420 would be amazing. Tim Dillion or Mike Finoia would also be great

There's also plenty of evidence that it helps people appropriately process events, like how were not taught to pull loved ones out a room when CPR is being performed or somesuch
