Important Information Regarding the Forge
- Carbon Steel ONLY! No other material can be placed in the forge.
- NO galvanized, painted, or otherwise coated steel in the forge.
- NEVER use borax or any other type of flux in the forge. You will ruin the bottom of the forge.
- Do NOT turn the forge up too high - just turn it up high enough for the work you need to do. NO forge welding temperatures.
- Do NOT poke the sides or back of the forge with your piece. The back hole is slightly higher than the bottom firebrick - please gently place your piece in and then rest it down on the bottom of the forge.
- Make sure the fuel line is NEVER touching the side of the forge.
- If the torch is sputtering there is something wrong. Try to give it a little more air and more fuel. If that doesn't work, you might be low on fuel. If it continues sputtering turn it off and alert the Area Host.
- Always assume the forge, any nearby tools, and the surrounding area is hot.
Helpful Hints
- Directly under the torch is the hottest place in the forge - if you want something heated fast, place it there.
- Your steel will be as hot as it can be when it nearly matches the color of the forge around it.
- Try not to leave tools next to the forge when it is on - they will get very hot.
- Keep your tools cool by quenching often.
- Try to use the least amount of air mix you can while not choking the torch.
- If you have a question or something seems off - contact the area host or Adrianna.
