Wolfgang Weisselberg > The results of 2 weeks hard work are in that small bowl --- not a very good result, but the bloomery furnace did work (for a while). Of course, that bit of iron bloom has to be worked over a lot to become suitable for tools or weapons.
Wolfgang Weisselberg > Charcoal (for the furnace) and some water.
Wolfgang Weisselberg > From this viewpoint you can see the foundation of the kiln is still there and get some impression of the size of the bellows versus the bloomery furnace.
Wolfgang Weisselberg > The left-overs of the bloomery furnace after it was broken down to find whatever iron bloom could be found inside. The bellows are prominently visible.
Wolfgang Weisselberg > The same from a slightly different angle --- note how the bricks are mostly right, the smaller chunks to the left. Be aware that this is a 17mm lens (effectively 27mm at 35mm-film format), so that the bricks close to the camera (center front, for example) look much larger than the stool (in the upper right), even though the opposite is true.
Wolfgang Weisselberg > Details of the bricks left over.
Wolfgang Weisselberg > Detailed view of the smaller fragments. The tools in the upper left can give an indication of size. (35mm equivalent lens length is 64mm, so it's almost as if you were standing there, looking down yourself.)
Wolfgang Weisselberg > The no-more working furnace from yet another angle. Since it's drizzling, you may see a few drops reflecting the flash light.
Wolfgang Weisselberg > The no-more working furnace from another angle, lightened up a bit with flash and a lot of ambient light. (I need correction filters for my flash ...)
The results of 2 weeks hard work are in that small bowl --- not a very good result, but the bloomery furnace did work (for a while).

Of course, that bit of iron bloom has to be worked over a lot to become suitable for tools or weapons.
