![]() Hey folks, thats really water! But the real question is, Are these Vikings? The little forge in the foreground (and below) is Peter's take off on the Sandia Furnace. |
![]() Camp Fenby is held on the Blackistone family farm in Southern Maryland and was billed as a crafts weekend with a Saturday evening Crab feast. I called it the "Crafts and Crab Fest". There was supposed to be a show of medieval Viking fighting for the Washington Post and I hoped to piggy back the picture taking but . . (continued on page 3) |

RECURPERATIVE FORGE ![]() |
Peter Lindbergh of Laninberg, PA built this little single burner recurperative forge. This highly efficient forge was run all day and didn't make a dent in a 20 lb. bottle of propane! Notice the clip on air gate made of a small piece of aluminum channel. It is only leaving a 1/2 square inch (13x13 mm) opening for air to enter! This forge is built with a stainless shell lined with 1" (25mm) of Koawool. The rear vent is lined with about 1/4". A half thickness refractory brick acts as a hearth and protects the Koawool from damage. Air rises in the flat intake that passes through the forges exhaust. A small orifice where the propane enters creates a venturi effect and draws air with it. This forge runs on 3-4 PSI of gas. |

So where are the Ladies of Markland? I must appologize to the ladies of the Longship Company of which there were as many or more than the men. I am terribly sorry for my lopsided coverage of this event. I promise to do better in the future. -- Jock Dempsey | ||||
