[TheForge] Cap and trade

[Bob Ehrenberger]

Roger,

The problem I see with the induction heaters is that once you start forging, 
the part may not fit back between the coils. You only get one shot at 
getting it right once you start bending things.  They would be great for 
things like sharpening jack hammer bits or making fence pickets.

I have very little experience with charcoal,  it was ok but I didn't like 
the popping and the sparks.  It may not have been a fair test since I was 
demonstrating outside and it was kind of windy.

I have been using charcoal for quite some time and am planning to buy an
induction heater for the smaller items 1" and down
Will still need the charcoal for things that will not fit in the coils.

Ries,

I think I'll give up blacksmithing before I have to use an induction forge.
I would build a charcoal furnace first.
