Built in 1785 the water powered hammers were used to make Crown Scythes - made from a sandwich of crucible steel and two pieces of wrought iron.

Valley Forge was the winter encampment of the Continental Army, under the command of George Washington, during the American Revolutionary War.
Ruckle Farm (Provincial Park): "This is the farm's oldest outbuilding. Well over 100 years old, it was constructed between 1878 and 1880, and is one of the few forge buildings remaining from that period. Look at the log ends: they were cut and squared with an axe.
Henry Ruckle and his son, Daniel Henry, were both skilled blacksmiths, and many of the farm implements they used were made in this building."

From the blacksmith shop at the Empire Mine - coal burning forge. When fresh coal is added, the smoke has great colors as impurities burn off, but I wouldn't want them in my lungs!

Bien que portant le nom de "forges d'Hennebont", ces bâtiments font en fait partie de la commune d'Inzinzac-Lochrist. Dernier de la série d'Hennebont, pour en savoir plus sur les forges, c'est là : bigoudene46.over-blog.com/2016/10/hennebont-les-forges.html
My computer is not the best and connecting the amidships and dome section in LDD was a bloody difficult, I feel like I could dock the space shuttle to the international space station having gone through that. Anyway here is the Valley Forge two thirds done...ish. It's about 190 studs long and brick count is 6600.
The history of the forge can be traced back to 1640, and it was still working until around 1910. The industrial site was abandoned in 1929 although the workers’ cottages were occupied until the late 1960s.
Top Forge is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Grade I) and celebrates the history of iron-working in Britain and especially in South Yorkshire. The Forge is the only surviving water-powered heavy wrought iron forge with its water wheels and hammers (now restored) in situ. It is a site of national importance.
The Industrial Revolution is usually associated with steam power. Wortley Top Forge certainly made its contribution both in the technology of iron making and in supporting the early Railway Age, but only ever used the power of its three water wheels.
The Don valley was an ideal area for iron-making as it had access to ironstone from the Tankersley seam, coppiced timber for charcoal and, of course, water power. Iron has been worked in the valley since the 1300s. Top Forge was built before1640, deliberately in a loop of the river Don in order to shorten the course of the head goyt and to maximise the head of water available between the weir and the tail goyt.
The current layout of the building dates from the 1850s when the forge was turned over to the production of shafts and axles mainly for use on railway wagons. Some of the earliest metallurgical experiments in the world were conducted at the site by the engineer and metallurgist Thomas Andrews.
Railway axles of the highest quality were manufactured at the site in the nineteenth century and exported all over the world.
Axle production ceased at Top Forge by 1910 (the price of mild steel from Sheffield had undercut the cost of wrought iron).
The Top Forge workshops continued to service the works both upstream and downstream until 1929 when all activity ceased.
The older breast-shot water wheel and belly-helve hammer was probably installed in 1680s and would have been almost entirely of wood. As each generation updated this structure, we now have a cast iron wheel with a cast iron axle albeit with evidence of a previous wooden tree trunk shaft.
The larger breast-shot wheel and trip hammer was probably installed around 1840 when railway axle making was introduced. It has been calculated that the four-lobed cam running at 20 revolutions per minute would have a power output of about 8 HP and each hammer blow about half as effective as a 1 ton drop hammer.
The forge also houses a large collection of early industrial machinery

The Virginia Central Railroad extended to Clifton Forge, Alleghany County, Virginia in 1857 here, a point originally called Jackson River.
The modern two-story station building is a clapboard structure originally built by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) in 1906 as the railway's local offices. It became the passenger station in 1930 when the Gladys Inn was converted into the local YMCA building. It sits just east of a major locomotive fuel facility for CSX Transportation.
In 2013, Amtrak announced that it plans to move the stop to a new station built by the Chesapeake and Ohio Historical Society. The building is a replica of the original 1891 station, and it is located on Main Street, east of the current facility.
I believe this is a 1941 Ford sitting next to the station.
An orange glow radiates from the centre of NGC 1792, the heart of this stellar forge. Captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, this intimate view of NGC 1792 gives us some insight into this galactic powerhouse. The vast swathes of tell-tale blue seen throughout the galaxy indicate areas that are full of young, hot stars, and it is in the shades of orange, seen nearer the centre, that the older, cooler stars reside.
Nestled in the constellation of Columba (The Dove), NGC 1792 is both a spiral galaxy, and a starburst galaxy. Within starburst galaxies, stars are forming at comparatively exorbitant rates. The rate of star formation can be more than 10 times faster in a starburst galaxy than in the Milky Way. When galaxies have a large resevoir of gas, like NGC 1792, these short lived starburst phases can be sparked by galactic events such as mergers and tidal interactions. One might think that these starburst galaxies would easily consume all of their gas in a large forming event. However, supernova explosions and intense stellar winds produced in these powerful starbursts can inject energy into the gas and disperse it. This halts the star formation before it can completely deplete the galaxy of all its fuel. Scientists are actively working to understand this complex interplay between the dynamics that drive and quench these fierce bursts of star formation.

Continuing my "Colonial Times At Valley Forge" series. I'm posting 2 from this sitting so the re-enactor can have her choice. She was wonderful to talk with and extremely cooperative.
This was shot inside the headquarters of General Varnum.

Rogues' Forge
Deep in the King's woods lies an abandoned outpost where the Rogues of the woods have taken up residence. Here at Rogues' Forge, they craft the weapons that allow them to survive while living out of the King's favor.
The scene is the first in a series of builds built on "flexigon" bases allowing for a modular layout by adding additional foliage, trees or features to expand the layout.
