I've put up a page describing the smelting with tons of pictures and details.
In related news, I'd really like to try this again. Soon. In the Seattle area. Anyone have any ideas about where it could be done? I'm tempted to go do it at Golden Gardens as a very odd beach fire, but getting electricity for the blower would be a pain. If I got enough serious volunteers, I'd think about doing it with real bellows. Maybe Egyptian pot-bellows....
