| - | The main purpose of the blacksmithing area is to provide a self maintained and intuitive area to practise the art of blacksmithing, metal forging and sand casting. | + | This page has moved to the [[teams:blacksmithing|Blacksmithing & Casting Teams]] page. |
| - | To reach this goal we have to complete the following items: | ||
| - | |||
| - | - | ||
| - | |||
| - | To maintain a clean, safe and organised smithy, there will be some small tasks that members will have to complete: | ||
| - | |||
| - | After each use, the user much: | ||
| - | |||
| - | - Ensure that all tools are put away in their designated areas after use. | ||
| - | - The casting furnace is covered to protect it from rain. | ||
| - | - Embers are either put out, or scuttled | ||
| - | - Clean up any mess caused by work | ||
| - | - Gas cylinders are removed and locked in cage | ||
| - | |||
| - | Weekly tasks will include: | ||
| - | |||
| - | - Tool stock take | ||
| - | - Extensive clean | ||
| - | |||
| - | Monthly takes: | ||
| - | |||
| - | - Space maintenance. | ||
| - | |||
| - | As for requests for the space the forum will be checked on a daily basis and all purchases with an overall price of $50 will be decided in a vote. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Meetings will have to be announced and will happen on Tuesdays when announced. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Appointment classes: Inductions on the blacksmithing and forging equipment. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Monthly classes: How to draw and round a steel rod How to make a rail-road spike into a fire stoke. How to cast sand moulds | ||
| - | |||
| - | Inductions can be held by any inducted member of the smithy. Forge welding | ||
| - | |||
| - | Future prospects: Casting: Casting box + trays Ramming tools Cutters and Risers High temperature forges such as: Induction furnace Oil forge Smithing Power hammer Horizontal gas forge Misc Increase tooling (tongs for smelting) | ||
| - | |||
| - | Ideally we would also like to move into building an oil forge or induction furnace. This would allow us to melt/recycle higher temperature metals such as bronze and steel. | ||
