Question and Posing Problems Refection

When we went to visit Lucian at his shop. He gave me a lot of tips, like where he gets his soft coal from it's called Black Rock Coal in East Montpelier. One of the other things he showed me was to wrap paper in a ball to get the soft coal to light faster. Over the April break I fixed a problem that I had. The problem was that the hair dryer that I have has to turn off every hour so it can cool off but after the hair dryer would turn off the forge would cool off so much that it was hard to get to heat up. Another problem is that the forge gets way to hot to work around after fixing the hair dryer problem. As well, the welding gloves I have burn easily which hardens the leather so I can't move a couple of the fingers for the gloves which makes it hard to hold the hammer. The way I fixed the problem with the hair dryer turning off was that about every half an hour I would turn off the hair dryer so it could cool off. How I keep the forge going when I turn off the hair dryer, I would takeout the ash plug I have on the bottom of the T-pipe so the forge still had air going into the forge. That kill two birds with one stone, the hairdryer does not shut off to cool off and the forge does not harden my welding gloves. Now I am trying to make an air gate so I can control how much air goes into the forge so the metal in the forge does not melt.
