Thank you Rob. I have some basic metal working skills but moving along slowly seems to be my best attribute, slow gives me time to think things along before I ruin material.
It's hard for me to find coal and coke where I live, I have to order it and pay to have it shipped to me in a cardboard box.
If you could show us sea coal that would great, it would be interesting to see something I've read good things about but not available here. .
Nothing wrong with your workmanship Tackit ,only one thing I could think of that was wrong !,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,you didnt do a forge build thread
Shame you cant get hold of coke/coal so easy ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, well myself and the granddaughter had or usual walk along the coast this afternoon .
Rather allot of kelp has been washed a shore and the tide was nearly all the way in ,so I could not get to the exposed coal seam but there was still plenty of coal about.
