Images of Quad State Smelting Demo
Via Facebook, I was contacted by Renita Krahe Balent, who was part of the viewing audience at the iron smelting demonstration at Quad State in September. Although I was able to get some video (via friend David Robertson), I have hardly any still images recording the demonstration. Renita has a very complete overview of the smelter build, the display table and the bloom pulling sequence contained on an album posted HERE. Ken Cook is my assistant on this smelt (and seen doing a lot of the work!)
Thanks Renita!
