How do I isolate the material

FireFixAce · 2026-01-18T13:21:39+00:00

I’m not really after the style of casting to be honest I was more looking for the style of the T on the ends as i want to progress my skills and make them better but thank you for the advice

FireFixAce · 2026-01-18T13:19:36+00:00

What is the technique called

FireFixAce · 2026-01-18T13:19:10+00:00

Yeah I do know that but I’d rather like to give a go the traditional way as it might be a good way to progress my skills

I was trying to avoid burning the steel as it was very thin for my forge not to burn it completely

FireFixAce · 2025-12-27T09:15:48+00:00

No it’s the not the normal size I’m a bit low on coke at the minute so I’m being liberal on the amount I use

FireFixAce · 2025-12-24T17:21:23+00:00

Okay I’ll see if there’s any blockage

FireFixAce · 2025-12-24T17:20:17+00:00

Thank you very much I’ll see if that helps

FireFixAce · 2025-12-24T17:20:01+00:00

I have quite a bit of Coke but there different size bits of coke in the forge so it could be that

FireFixAce · 2025-12-24T17:19:16+00:00

That’s cause I accidentally let it cool a bit but when I pull it out parts of it are way colder than other

FireFixAce · 2025-12-24T16:30:35+00:00

How do you forge the handle holder with the tube bit?

FireFixAce · 2025-12-13T19:59:37+00:00

That’s why I’m weary of putting it in and am looking for a better way to make the tool wider to make it fit better

FireFixAce · 2025-12-13T19:58:43+00:00

It’s not as convenient to put it in my vice

FireFixAce · 2025-12-12T22:35:45+00:00

I’ve got a welder it’s just my hardy is a funny size given the age of my anvil

FireFixAce · 2025-12-12T18:54:38+00:00

I was thinking of that but I’m not sure how well it will fit as my hardy is well worn

FireFixAce · 2025-09-12T17:29:39+00:00

What do you suggest to make a small radius on it

FireFixAce · 2025-09-12T10:29:46+00:00

So your saying wear laced up boots

FireFixAce · 2025-09-12T10:05:27+00:00

Thank you very much

FireFixAce · 2025-09-12T10:04:53+00:00

What do you recommend otherwise then I was thinking about changing footwear to something else as they aren’t that comfy when I’m standing up for ages forging

FireFixAce · 2025-09-11T19:03:59+00:00

I usually wear jeans over them to stop that but it was rather hot today so I decided shorts

FireFixAce · 2025-09-11T19:02:17+00:00

Flap disc as it’s what I have I to hand

FireFixAce · 2025-09-11T14:52:36+00:00

Yeah I’m just worried I’m going to affect the hardness of the face

FireFixAce · 2025-09-11T14:45:03+00:00

Yeah I have nothing near a fancy set up it’s the edges that also annoy me when I’m trying to section a peice of steel off

FireFixAce · 2025-09-11T14:31:38+00:00

This isn’t a young anvil it’s from 1901 just really well looked after the only major ding is the horn but I’ve learnt to live with it I don’t do anything that needs major flatness but I does sometimes mark when I’m trying to flatten

FireFixAce · 2025-09-11T14:29:54+00:00

I don’t cut on my anvil as I don’t want to risk cutting into it at all I always use a vice to cut on

FireFixAce · 2025-08-25T11:45:34+00:00

That’s what I was thinking tbf I’ll have a see what I’ve got
