Yeah it’s pretty wild, I’ve been watching FiF videos on YouTube, and I’ve seen at least two swords break and fly back towards the judges face, one time getting hit in the neck, and several times getting hit on the hand or wrist. Then they take the next sword and go right back at it, no safety gear! -Good points about no PPE in the shop part hardly ever And about asking relative newbies to make new things leads to a higher chance of failure. It must be sheer pride at this point! They know they are not operating safely

Interesting...my mother has some kind of Nickel allergy, I personally have sweat that can ( and did) destroy the bright nickel finish on a PPK in a day of bike riding in VA ( small pitting buffed out with flitz, lesson learned and hard chrome for plating form then on...).
Maybe the Iron / apple trick is more bio-available due to the acids in the juice? I know some people put iron nails in their trees to supplement Iron, but never heard of the European way of getting Iron. ![:)](//storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
( apple Juice might boost Iron uptake to about 7%, go figure )
Iirc, and this is from many years ago, to absorb the iron from a cast iron skillet you need to cook something acidic in them. The example I remember was tomatoes. Anything non acidic doesn’t absorb any iron from the skillet. Like I said I read this about 30 or so years ago so I could be misremembering. Unlike my wife, I have had very high Iron years ago, cut out much of the cast iron and it went down a little bit...We would cook as much as possible in Cast Iron ( mostly Lodge). Yes I agree acids break it down more...back then we used a lot of Olive oil ( 3-5% acidity), that also might have contributed.
