Kai was being sick (even more so than usual;-)), so I dropped by. Of course, he could not keep his feet still, so he showed me his new forge, and we did some burrrrnning;-). It´s made from Ytong material with firebricks and apipe tuyère system.
That´s an air blower from a camping shop, usually in use to inflate matresses!
Now this is sweet: The valve to regulate the airflow. Works like a cinch, and a great idea, if you ask me...
Those are the adventures of Mr. Fimbulmyrk, in bushcraft and blacksmithing, mountainbiking and hiking, reenactment, writing, singing, dancing, stargazing and having a piece of cake and a coffee. Pray have a seat and look around you, but be warned - the forest´s twilight is ferocious at times.
