@coolcat87100 I have no idea where to buy an anvil that wont dwarf the costs of everything else to make this. The railroad tie is the best homemade anvil and it just so happens I could make almost the same setup as him. I have a coulple different style blowers, no biggie on that, I only intend on making knives and daggers. I have some railroad rails just big enough, small enough, and lots of RR spikes plates, etc. They changing out old for cement and new clamps on Railroads.
Nice forge you have there! Just one question ... don't you get problems with ash ? in your first forge you can empty the brake drum right? but what's with the second? is there any possibility to clean that while it is in use?
@sittttam Not to big of a deal just turn the air up and stir and ashes are blown out coals stay in, do this ever ten minutes or so. Runs all day with this method, Thanks
dude your design of the forge is the best one i seen yet in you tube for making Knifes and swords everyone else is round that just burn in one small round area compare to yours and the heat is not wasted in the area that is burning, great job and good idea i will make one on the base of your idea , thanks!
How is the pipe holding up in the firepit? I would have thought it would have melted the pipe. I am interested in building one of these but I wanted to know what you have learned from your design since you built it? I built a clay forge a few years ago and learned a few things I would have changed had I did it again...I was just curious as to your experience.
it is a nice firebox, but I would find a way to put that bitchin' blower outside with a flex hose runnin to the firebox; Great idea and some great knives!
Very nice, you've given me some neat ideas for when I build my own sword length forge. I do hope you plan to put its final installation near your anvils otherwise that's quite a walk with searing hot metal!
man that is crazy! i think im going to make one of these... i bet you could easily melt metal in that... and i melt aluminium into ingots and i think this would be far more effective then when i have now... haha nice video man
"I think it works pretty good" - dang, you think?! you brought hell to earth! this is by far the SICKEST homemade forge i've seen - I want one, but I'm afraid I might burn our warehouse down if i built something like that :D cheers!
bright orange is like 800 degrees C you need to get at a bright yellow 1000 degree c for forging it. You could temper it and strengthen it with a bright orange good build contain the heat some more and you will get that even hotter
@Terratracks Wow Thanks hand you made me blush. sevenswanstudio missed whole point of video, that it was a test run and I did not care about the color so much as just seeing how it worked. And he all so missed the fact that I was using charcoal briquets which suck for fuel in a forge, and all so in his forge video he did not,,,, all that right he don't have any forge videos..He He He.. This forge is a beast it will melt any thing I stick in her, heat is NOT a problem.
were did you get the railroad parts?
