Soon (i hope) my Forge will be complete and I can start melting and pouring,i am in the process of putting what I am going to melt in a pile,,,a little Afraid of the Black Body because magnesium in a Forge is a very BAD thing,,,it burns and burns,and sometimes can sink a bit and explode.
Don't need that fo sho,the Black Body is about a foot square and picking it up it feels like about 10 pounds,,looks to be completely made of an aluminum alloy.Looking for info.

A black body is used for calibrating Infrared devices like cameras and
sensors. Dont destroy it. Try ebay. Also I know someone who might be
interested in it.

They're (or at least the name is) also used to separate fools from their
money.
