Did you know that if you try to smelt aluminum on one and hook it up to an air compressor that iron actually burns?
I was young, and stupid. I wish I still had it, and hadn't had access to the stainless tubing I used to feed air to it.

HA!
I never would’ve tried something like that. I had access to an antique forge. I think the reason mine has lasted so long is it’s handy size. You pick it up and take it indoors when you aren’t using it. That’s a huge difference when it comes to decay and deterioration.
