I want to see it land on that trailer

Yeah, when training guys it was hard to get them to recognize heat by color, some got it quick, some never could.

We worked with some rail that might be $1,000 bucks a ton.

Ray. When blacksmithing, correct temperature is pretty important. A fine line.  You can lose a lot of material to scale (flaking) from overheating. If you are doing it for a business, loss of material adds up.
 

Bought a starter log last week. Portobello I think.

Good video, I spent thirty years bending, straightening, mashing, forging, welding and expanding railroad track, it still amazes me what you can do with heat and metals. One thing I’m surprised the video didn’t mention is what happens when you over heat the surface of metals, a huge amount of the strength of a material is on the outer surface, if overheating breaks the “skin” of a metal that outer surface loses that surface tension that is responsible for that strength and bad things can happen.

Any forged mushroom are good! I use chanterelle’s in cream sauce scoot their the most common here. My personal favourite are morels like eating a steak, they grow naturally in (USA) but not in BC.. we get them the following year after forest fires. Very delicious. Another one I enjoy in a soup is cauliflower mushroom, they look like a brain with tentacles you wouldn’t think you can eat them but surprisingly good.

For Aluminum.

That would certainly be a treat Dan. Fresh or frozen. Will probably make a cream sauce over pasta. I really need to learn how to forage for mushrooms. One of my favorite foods.
