Forging is an ancient trade that has been passed down from generation to generation. This article will give you a few tips on how to forge rusty metal and get the most out of your next attempt. You'll be able to melt down your old batteries and make new ones out of them
You can use a hammer, anvil, and grinder to do this job. The first step is to take the old battery apart and then clean it up so that it's ready for forging. You want to remove any corrosion that may have built up on the battery terminals or inside of the battery itself. Once everything looks nice and clean, start melting down your old batteries into one piece with a blow torch or propane torch (this will allow you to work at low temperatures)
Once it's melted down, you can use a grinder (like an angle grinder) or sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges left from being melted down in one piece. When you're done with this part, you'll have a nice chunk of metal that hopefully has plenty of rust on it already!
