I'm sure lots of smiths know about these, but for those don't they can really make a difference.......Ever curse having to quench the handle of a bar and losing the ''sweet heat'' before forging or some other maneuver ?............These things can be bought at napa or rigged from a T fitting, The blo gun one is 1/8''and the simple T rig is 1/4, that one kicks ass...............After cooling with water and air in the fire you go right to work...............Oh and don't leave it on the floor .............Your tub will drain.....[Image Can Not Be Found]

Thanks for posting that. I've used a "mister" made for machine tool cooling. It has a little more of a fine jet, very easy to isolate a heat without losing much heat. I had a foot valve to control the air. Of course nowadays I have my induction.

I don't do scrolls!
Actually we have "C" shaped coils and flat pancake coils.

So this setup is using water from your quench tank to keep the heat localized away from where you spray? Picking up water the way sandblasters do sand?
Any more info about buying one like what to ask for at NAPA?

Here's an open coil. Similar thing can be done for flat bar.

Nice bends, art. How do you get them so smooth and tightly spaced?

I now have a flat forehead. Why didn't I ever think of that? Now I have a new project.
Grant and Larry are going to keep going on about their induction forges until I'm gonna have to get one. Has the cost come down any? Last I heard the whole thing cost about 4 grand.
