info on Wayne goddards worlds smallest forge and quench goop.

[Sammy Mickel]

I unluckily missed some issues of "BLADE" and the 50$knife project. Could someone give me some information on his "worlds smallest forge" and his receipe for "quenching goop". Thanks, Sammy.

The forge is a soft fire brick that has bin bored out and a second hole drilled at 90deg to the main hole.
The flame from a propane torch is fed it to the #2 hole.

The goop is a paraffin/oil mix, 40/60 wax to oil I think. The wax is so it will be solid and esay to transport. I've used the goop and it works fine.But I like olive oil better.
