  • The fire brick is made by Therma Ceramics. It is a insulating firebrick which is very light and fragile. It's very much like pumice and can be cut with a hand saw. I would recommend you build a frame around this type of brick otherwise it tends to fall apart. This fire brick is so insulating you can put your hand on the outside of it after running the forge for hours. Good stuff but requires TLC.

  • @sevenswanstudio He said it was a Kilm Shelf they are diffrent the firebricks

  • what blade did you use to cut the fire brick,  I have so much fire brick laying around and i tried to cut it with a concrete 12 inch cut off wheel, And it took forever to cut it.

  • What website did you get your ceramic fiber insulation from?

  • @hammerfistforge you can get it from an industrial insulation supply store. fyi-after ceramic fiber insulation has been exposed to high temps it becomes highly hazardous healthwise-similar to asbestos.

  • where do you get the insulation from? basically what kind of store?

  • Yes, you are correct. I forgot to mention that I was going to coat the kaowool with ITC-100. Thanks for catching that. I will add a note at the end of the video to do that.

  • You really MUST seal that ceramic blanket with satanite or rutlands. If you dont, you will be filling your shop and lungs with asbestos-like fibers when it comes to heat. Trust me, I am a bladesmith, it is a serious hazard. Coat with satanite and then Kast-o-lite for durability and then itc-100 to make really efficient. You can skip the last two if you don't weld with borax flux.

  • yes, most are not

  • Are you sure air compressor tanks aren't galvanized?
