Weekend Project: Micro Forge
- Thread starter Platinum
- Start date
Help Support Gold Refining Forum:
For most blacksmithing a standard wienie roast bonfire will do a better job. If this micro forge actually concentrates the heat to the point that it has a faster heat time using propane than a bonfire it will also cause the iron nails used as a support frame to sag. For small parts like this micro forge is designed for I personally would just heat them directly in the propane torch flame.
Sorry, just one mans opinion.

Just some Yankee sarcasm. I think it's just another advertising trick to get people to go out and buy stuff.

You guys need to realize that Make is targeted towards a generation of geeks and hackers that didn't necessarily get exposed to building stuff when they were kids, having spent all their time in front of TVs playing video games and then computers.
I'm a hybrid: old enough that I spent a lot of time in the backyard making stuff with all the parts dad accumulated (and learning how to work with my hands from him) but young enough that I got into computers at an early age and spent a lot of time in front of them.
Make Magazine is reintroducing a generation to the joys and satisfaction of building something yourself. It is anti-consumerism.
If you ever have the opportunity, go to the Maker Faire. I went to the first three and the stuff that people are doing in their garages and backyards is simply amazing.
