  • G'day everyone, it sure has been a while. In today's episode I'm going to be making a set of piston bellows or box bellows for a new forge that I can take to a hammer in next week!
    I hope you guys and gals enjoy and this inspires you to make your own to get started forging today!

    Tim, great video,awesome editing and music. You've come a long way. I'm a bit crazy BUT it would be cool to to design a little add on steam engine to add to the blower, syphoning a small bit of heat off the forge. Wouldn't need to convert the lateral motion to circular for the blower piston, however every steam governor I've seen is centripical. Would a point of interest at shows. Just a wild thought. Hope you have a brilliant time at the hammering.....don't get too hammered lol. Take care mate.

      dude that is an awesome idea, I am now going to spend the next 72 hours thinking about how to get that to work lol, I can always rely on you to inspire me. As for getting hammered, well... no promises. Take care man.

    I built a similar one, once you get the fire going it gets steel to heat very quickly, but I used fire bricks for the hearth, similar style to some of the old world forges.

      I wish I could make a big coal forge but I lack the space, but this is what I would want to do if I get the opportunity!

    I can think of another potential downside and a possible solution: you don't get a steady stream of air because you have to go back and forth and you might be able to fix that by having two bellows working in tandem so the air never stops.

    • @craftedbytimyt
      @craftedbytimyt  Місяць тому +1

      I don't believe this is as much of a problem as it doesn't matter if you are pulling or pushing it is always forcing air into one chamber and out of the other.

      @@craftedbytimyt I mean when you change directions there's a moment in which the airflow stops. It's probably only a fraction of a second but you can see the flame fluctuate every time

      thanks mate, couldn't figure out which one you were talking about at first but I am assuming you are talking about the one at 3:28 ish, that was a hole that was already in the timber. Because I used recycled timber from other jobs it meant that there were a few holes and stuff in it that needed to be patched and that was one of the better ways I could do it. Thanks for the comment!

    Creo tiene una pequeña falla si es que no me equivoco, es de sistema de vaivén que en ambos movimientos da saca aire hacia el fuego, si es haci el ancho del pistón debe ser del ancho del tubo por el que pasa para que no devuelva aire 6:14

    • @craftedbytimyt
      @craftedbytimyt  5 місяців тому

      yes, so the flaps have to cover the holes as best as possible to avoid air traveling backwards, this could also be assisted by adding another piece of wood in the second lower chamber halfway across the outlet valve, this would direct airflow outwards rather than to the other end of chamber.

    I tried making a Traditional Japanese Style Forge when I was a kid and I used gardeing sulfur to start the fire, the problem was that I inhaled a big whiff of it and I have been retarded ever since
