howdy sir hellfire-labs! this is something you don't see everyday. In fact, I've never seen it! what made you want to try this smelting project? It's much more complicated than I thought it would be as far as getting the mixture just right, good luck on the next try!
I decided to build it because I really like to challenge myself and not many people can say they made iron (however small the amount) from rock. Now I just need to get enough to make something useful!
haha! yes sir well that's going to be an interesting project, you should make a hammer or some kind of tool! thanks for getting back to me!
