Wooo.
A good start.
First Light.
Forging away.
Decent flame.
Some more detail.
Seems to be working pretty well which is good because I didn't want to test fire it with any parts loose so I welded her up solid before firing. Once it was hot it took what seemed like only a few minutes to get a 12" piece of leaf spring to critical temp. Will still have a bit of tweaking. closing up the front door seemed to help get a lot more heat.
Going to see if I can bang out a blade tomorrow.
