Sapphire Mining
I've taken over a sapphire mining claim in Central Queensland, Australia.
It allows for hand mining only (no powered equipment for digging). The local Smith charges exorbitant rates for sharpening picks but if it ain't sharp it's labour intensive. To the point. Anybody know the process, or know of a link, (I have a small charcoal forge with an electric air pump so heat is abundant) for annealing/tempering? Thanks in advance.
