Smelting Iron in a Bloomery Furnace!
My first iron smelt! Using the bloomery furnace I built in the last video, it was time to get a smelting. I had about 40-50 pounds of grinder dust, forge scale, lathe chips, and various metal dust from my workshop to process back to into usable material. It even worked!
Soon I'll post a video of refining the bloom steel into usable material and hopefully making something out of it! Whether I make it into a knife or another blacksmithing project, I'm sure I'll learn a lot.
