Digital_photog ★ Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted September 25, 2017 It will be blowing on my forge at the Gathering at Five Medals. I'm thinking that if I have time I will build a portable forge similar to this one Lewis and Clark Expedition reenactment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted September 25, 2017 Share #4 Posted September 25, 2017 Would I be off the mark if I guessed that you made the bellows? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be. These are 200 year old original bellows that I found in Colorado. (they don't even smell like they have been smoking the funny weed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted September 25, 2017 Share #6 Posted September 25, 2017 Pushing down on the lever lifts the lower portion of the bellows, which appears to be anchored in the center. Am I right in guessing that the top portion of the bellows lifts from the air pressure, then settles by gravity, smoothing the air flow ? Is there a separation between the 2 halves ? A check valve ? So how does a bellows work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted September 25, 2017 Share #10 Posted September 25, 2017 So do you expect to win one of the five medals with these bellows? Sorry, I think I post some form of this lame joke every year you go to this gathering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
