I problem with the central vac is that I vacuum up so much gross poo poo and having that gross stuff get stuck in the pipes and having to take the pipes apart to unclog it is just too much.

Where do you get the iron ore for smelting? I'm googling as hard as I can and there's just not much info on this. It looks like bog ore would be the most accessible but I don't live in a boggy climate and I would be terrible at actually identifying the ore. Do you just visit some industrial smelting plant and ask for some rocks?

I've been researching and it looks like a good source if black (iron) sand, which can usually be found in places where people pan for gold. I think I'll probably go that route. Slung, what's the advantage of your bloomery over something like this guy's setup which seems tremendously easier and cheaper? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t6ZRpw8kPo

Well he later posted his bloom (http://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/30556-my-first-tatara-furnace/) which was 5lbs, made from 10lbs of iron oxide, so I guess it worked. In this video he shows that hole being used for letting the slag out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LO1ZgiEVUs I thought the slag was supposed to be in there until the very end but I have no idea. Maybe using pig iron or ore is different from iron oxide.

Slung Blade posted:Same place I got the clay. In which, I bought 400 pounds of magnetite Oh you tease, simply buying magnetite like that is impossible around here I would guess. Did you find it locally or have to get it shipped for a ridiculous price? I heard firebrick actually has the reverse problem - it absorbs a ton of heat and takes forever to warm up. The guy in the youtube coated them in refractory mortar to counter this.

loving iron ore is impossible to find in quantities above "5 ounce bag" for hobby/model building purposes and below "multiple train car loads". I googled for a long drat time too.
|
Slung, I asked where you bought the magnetite and said it was the same place you got the clay, but I'm not sure you mentioned where you got the clay? What's the brand on the bag for it? Also, how much was it per bag? I found a ceramic store nearby asking $192 for a 50 pound bag of iron oxide and that sounds like bullshit to me.

What's happening on the criminal former mayor front? Not sure I understand the premise that him paying it back is fine. In the US he'd pay it back, plus a poo poo load of fines, plus probably go to prison for a while.
