been thinking..... one thing I'd like to play with is blacksmithing. I have a small forge and a trashcan full of coal, so it's not like I NEED another way to make iron turn red, but I regularly generate bunches of sawdust and I just happen to have a spare blower just laying about. anybody here ever built a sawdust fired blast furnace? seems to me the trick is gonna be to get the mix of sawdust and air right and to keep it lit. it might need a "pilot" of a propane flame and some sort of sifting mechanism to act like a carbeurator to keep a steady amount of sawdust entering the stream of air.
hey, it might work....
