So this is my forge that I have made. It has been made from 10mm side walls 100mm high, the base is a 5ml plate with a hole in the center, the legs are just 50x50ml square tube with end caps in them to stop the rust. I have taken a trucks brake plate as the firepot and to this I have attached a 50ml galvanised plumbing pipe leading to my waste hatch and to my valve to control the air inlet. In the background you can see my grandfathers 120amp oil cooled welder.
The only concern I have with this build is that I had to weld the brake plate to the underside of the base plate as shown here.
All I have left to do with this is to finish all the welds around the edges and connect up the blower that I have made out of a washing machine motor and a blower fan blade and Ill have my own smithy ready to fire up. What do you think?
Well here it is. ITS FINISHED! Ha ha yay. In the photo is my mentor Riaan Bredenkamp who has taught me all I know now and still is teaching me. Also Is the first firing of the forge. It works like a beauty.
YAY!!! Forge done!
