[TheForge] enameling

Sat Jun 22 01:55:01 2002

I heard one of the demonstrators at the ABANA conference enameled a piece of
hot iron by applying granulated glass(?) I think. It was easy and very nice
looking. Can someone describe the process and result of enameling in the
context of forged work.
Thanks,
Bob
