  • Fun fact for those who don’t know. You can forge metal with a wood fire if you have forced air.

    There are also ways to build a clay oven so that it has a natural updraft, giving it that forced air. It’s actually how people used to fire pottery.

    Other than that, you can also use charcoal, which burns hotter with forced air.

    Also, a hairdryer puts out enough air to forge with *unless you’re running a ribbon burner set-up. But if you are, you likely know that already.

    Basic used “else”.

    It’s nice. “if”, “then”, and “else”. I spent a year programming a shitty roulette game on an Apple 2e back in high school. I still remember the joy of using if/then/else paired with goto to make a horrible mess of spaghetti logic.

    But yeah, “else” is nice.
