Bloomery: Goat Skin Bellows


I built a new pair of goat skin bellows to operate my next bloomery with them. So enjoy my video documentation on youtube:
Maybe you'll call it cheating, but the next project is to made an electric air blower with exactly the same air output (450 L/min) as the goat skin bellows, so I'am not damned to operate them the whole time at the next bloomery ;)
