You're equally an artist as you are an engineer. Wonderful work with the forge.
A tip is to use the fan from an old oilburner, they have built in air adjusment valve and is much smaller and the airflow is more than you need, i have built mine that way.
Great video as usual, stay safe.
The Post Apocalyptic Inventor sometimes when we're continually watching in Fullscreen mode there isn't the option to hit like..
that blower looks better suited for a blast furnace ;D
Are you going to change your name to just "The Inventor" now?
Lol good one
Thanks for the giggles
The presently occuring apocalypse inventor
Lol
We are not post the apocalypse yet.
That little anvil, or "bottom anvil" as you called it, we call it a Stake here. At least any tool that has the wedge shaped bottom on them. Great for forming. Many options. I'd say it was likely for a sheet metal shop.
Well done. I use to go to the scrapyard all the time looking for antique auto parts to resell. My good friend for the last 52 years has a scrapyard he started in 1953 when he was 11 years old and still runs it today 5 days a week. He lives there and most everything he owns he has salvaged including two houses he tore down and rebuild on his property.
6:40 Thank you for letting us know!
I've been cutting and fabricating the stuff for years without knowing it was dangerous at all...
Best regards,
T.E.A
A happy moment, just sit down to breakfast and a coffee..... notification appears for a new scrapyard rummage!! Love these! Thanks ;)
The torch can be supported by two small legs mounted on the side, making it easier to cut out shapes
drill press and annular cutter, or bi-metal/diamond dust encrusted hole saw for holes
I really like the Repair-A-Thons. Watching you pick items out the scrapyard and take them to the work bench is always a treat. Great commentary in each video!
Every time i go to a scrap yard I am just completely amazed by the things people throw away.
I enjoy seeing you resurrect old tools and hearing some history along with them. Thanks!
Coffee breakfast repair and fix fix. Great start to the day. Now to the workshop to build something. Self isolation has its benefits.
I love your scrapyards in Germany, so many nice, old, quality picks.
Back in the day, our tools were mainly "Gedore", and I always pronounced it as "Jeh - Dor". Thanks for the correct pronounciation in your early clip.
Old tools are so much better than the new and cheap ones
Survivorship bias. I'm sure there were just as many (if not more) garbage tools at that time. But they've been broken and thrown out. Anything that hasn't broken in 50ish years likely isn't going to.
Which is why I like old tools, but only ones that show obvious usage. New Old Stock is for collectors.
@@colinpartridge4015 totally agree with you
@@colinpartridge4015 I've made the exact same points myself in the past. So glad someone else said it this time.
Yes, there was also cheap, flimsy stuff in the past, but not much of that is still around.
@@colinpartridge4015 i agree i have an old crescent wrench that does NOT flex, and i keep it on me at all times in the shop for gas bottles and the like nothing like it today they are all so cheaply made its not worth having them.
The slitcut airflow system is simple and effective. Mine was way more complicated😳
Thanks for the tip!
When you are able to go back to the scrapyard I challenge you to build a proper abrasive blast cabinet, large enough to process larger pieces of materials.
Your scrap yards are brilliant everything a maker could want keep the content coming - ATB
That is a very nice forge, it looks very effective. To regulate the air flow very simply, you might consider using a Y on the output side of the blower to allow some air to be vented out of the side. 1 valve or damper on each side of the Y will give you the ability to reduce the air flow from near zero to 100 % without putting an unnecessary strain on the motor or building a complex motor control.
Impressive work on the forge.
Another option for your blower for your foredge would to drill a 1/2 hole in the feed pipe and put a collar over it with another hole in it and then move the one hole over the other till the air flow to the foredge is getting the right amount of air. Simply bleed the excess air off and save having to build a speed controller.
It's so nice when the object is simple shaped and getting the rust off is easy. They need micro wire brush tools for those tough spots. I heard sandblasting is good too never had bought one to try.
Did you forget to add a easy way to remove slag and other debride that can work its way under the air holes in the break drum? All forges that have been air-fed from below that I have used have had some way to be emptied from crap.
He puts so much effort into these, and even explains it! Awesome.
Fascinating! You have become quite a proficient welder. Really enjoy this series.
That info about hexavalent chomium is really interesting and new for me ...thanks
You truly make my day, sir! Cheers from NJ, USA
Wo glad I found this channel a few months ago. Love this content.
with how strong that blower is you've essentially made a blast furnace
You are the kind of mad scientist I'd like to be stuck with during the apocalypse.
Awesome forge, well done.
That blower is super effective.
Mad welding skills my brother! 👍⚙️
Outstanding and especially with the COVID-19 reality & society/individual control
I think you just moved the earth out of orbit a little bit with that 😄😄😄
the air from the fan should connect in a T at a 90 degree angle to the bottom of the bowl. you will get hot ash/ coal dropping from the bowl in to the fan, place a clean out door on the bottom.
Can't wait to see the built of the CNC plasma cutter. I would like launch myself in such an challenge.
Hi, for cutting I bought a Parkside plasma cutter from Lidl, last month. Just €129,- and it performs like a charm! I did some 5 mm bar mild steel and some 1,5mm mild plate. It saves me gas.
I am into building a forge for my self also. Just I will be doing the air inlet from a side, and bottom with a sliding lid to empty accumulated ash over time, so it doesn't drop straight into the motor. Because it wont be blowing constantly. On the other hand that blower is all metal, impellers would be also, so it will be OK. It will blow the ash right up :-)
Great video as usual. Stay healthy and keep 'em coming. I look forward to watching new episodes for a very long time. BTW, when you were talking about that plow share, you and I said "-yet" in unison. :)
Loved the bells in the background of the glowing axe head :D Thought for a second there, the forge will blow away the coal! Very cool build.
i have a request: "What can be done with old cordless drills/handtools beyond their intended life?" Maybe a passive solar hot water circulator pump motor using p.v. panel to charge the motor...? love your work and dankeschön for the english versions... my Deutsche is unintelligible!
Exciting....fun...and probably dangerous. Lol 😂
That belongs on a t-shirt 👕
The forge in action somehow reminds me to a spacecraft engine under 100% thrust :-)
Well done as always. Love your channel. Grüße aus dem Schwabenland. Bleib gesund!
My kinda Man, knowledge and intrested in materials and down to earth. Keep it up dude
I love the repair-a-thon videos. I like learning alil bit about everything, you never know what you may need to know.
You ain't messing about bruv..
Good stuff, merely your accent on its own is scientifically accurate...
Another great video, these scrapyard finds make the best content yet !
“Prepared to stay here for sometime.” 3yrs later and the virus still raging. Guess that didn’t work out for you. 😂
it is just chrome metal plate on that surface. Hex. is what they use to plate it on the steel.
Just me but I think you need an ash drain. When you shut off the blower some ash will drift down the tube. You don't want that to collect into your blower assembly.
But I am not a blacksmith so take my suggestion with a high grain a salt. Lol. Love the videos!
Maybe not the right kind of apocalypse, but, **YOUR DAY HAS COME!** . You could've used a circle-jig (a string and bolt even) on the oxy-ace to make that circle nice and smooth. Also, seeing as how you do movie stuff once in a while, you missed a pretty major score. There was aluminum triangular set rigging in the scrapyard there, at least 3 long sections of it. Super lightweight, super strong.
this was, as always, fantastic. Thanks from Chile. Stay safe!
Love that JET ENGINE !
The cast iron you are beating on is a real good grade. You can tell by the close grain and silvery color. Nice job with the coal forge. Maybe you could make an HHO cutting torch that would cost a lot less the expensive gas of oxygen and acetylene. Would be able to make a HHO unit ???? Thanks
A massive thank You for still making such great videos!
yes great video again! i am waching all repair videos again! can't wait for a new one! Keep it up!
“Luckily we don’t need plows anymore....yet.” Exactly right. Civilization is on the verge of destroying itself over differing politics.
Get yourself a cheap second hand variable frequency drive inverter you then can control the 3 phase motor properly down to almost no revolutions for the fan. Nice well thought out project. It's a great pity we are not allowed into scrap yards here in England, the health and safety side of liability insurance seems to be the cause.
You should make yourself a circle cutting jig for your torch.
Wow...what a forge...nickname for it...hells mouth. 😁
I love all your videoes and you never cease to amaze me with your knowledge and ingenuity! Stay safe and hunker down from this horrible virus! I hope you don't need your Apocalyptic skills to survive, but if you do you will be fine on the other side of the disaster!
You sir, make a very good video for a number of reasons.
Sooo cool, I’m learning a lot from your skill, knowledge and creativity very enjoyable to watch, thank you
If you also share which junkyards you go more people can recover stuff from demolition.....
Another great video, Hope alls well in lockdown
Inspiration for the apocalyptic world we are living in
Great video, lots of interesting finds and construction :)
New project idea! Great video!
Thanks for the share. Great videos .
It is definetelly one of the best hand-made coal forges I have ever seen)
Just soak the rusty item in Vinegar for a week or so the results will amaze you neutralize the vinegar when finished
Love this build! Really well done.
All I can see is ash and soot falling down into the air pump. I would have built it further away from the forge and not directly underneath it and made a way to clean out the air feed pipe without having to take the whole thing apart. But Still, a good job over all. I always learn something new when I watch your videos. Stay healthy. The apocalypse is not yet upon us.
We don't have any scrap yards like that here in canada I'm aware of, everything gets sent off to China as scrap metals, it even gets stolen even.
These videos make me quite jealous, since it is impossible to go look around on the scrap yards near me..
Im jealous of your friends my friend.
Bleib gesund!
The forge Raw's like a demon
Full steam ahead, please. This is art.
i wish i had a picture of the circle cutting attachment my friend made worked gr8
Jesus mate! That's not a forge. It's a bloody volcano!!
Fantastic work!
Maybe a 3-D milling machine as well.
'i will also build a speed controller' :0D
WTF DUDE!
THAT FRIGGEN PLOWSHARE IS A VALUABLE ANTIQUE!
That blower is going to make your day when smelting, any plans to reuse the graphite cores from old batteries mixed with kitty litter clay to make your own crucibles?
I like all your work
Hi. Nice video as usual. Why don't you use a plasma cutter instead of the oxi?
Will interested in the speed controller for the fan. I am using a bouncy castle fan. I have a similar blast furnace going on. Your scrap yards look great in Germany
Stay safe
yes, yes, yes. Lockdown doesn't seem so bad today.
Really like your videos. Awesome.!!
looks like you got a flatter for your anvil
When adding the speed regulation, it would be cool if IR temperature detection could be the process variable
Great work 👍
I Found Wrench In Scrapyard, The Guy Just Told Me To Keep It, Came Home ANd researched, It Turns Out That Its The Rare Mercedes Wrench Wich Costs 100 Euros Now
Another Great video , Thanks 👍 👍
Holy Moly, was ne Flamme!!
This was a great build.
Did you have a filter or mesh in the outlet of the blower to stop embers falling down into the blower?
I really hoped that you will put a speed control on the motor. Throttling the blower while the motor revs at maximum is just a waste.
As a proper German, you should have used a variable frequency drive. Single phase in, 3ph 230V out ... to contrl the fan speed. Or to even boost it beyond!
Well done.
that forge is intense, any plan for a hood for it? seems a bit dangerous to have all those sparks and stuff flying around..
