TIL I was wrong about coal forges being dead, a guy in Abilene set me straight
I spent 3 years telling newer smiths that coal was pointless compared to propane, then a man named Roy fired up a hand crank forge in Abilene and showed me how his clinker breaks free with one tap and lets him weld a horse shoe in half the time, so now I have to ask what else did I write off too fast?
