    My favorite is watching youtubers say, I built for $10 with scrap. Then they show you all the NEW material that was just sitting around hahahahahhah. You actually used scrap and made a working forge! My only moment of concern was the spray paint on the open flame furnace lol. But all and all this was fun to watch. Good Job Sir!

    Just so everyone knows, that's an air to air boot ment to connect turbo boost tubes to intercoolers on diesel trucks. They are use to 30 to 50 psi at a couple hundred degrees. They can easily take the heat and pressure of a hair dryer.

    I think everybody starts with a hairdryer for their first low-buck forge. I still have one that looks like it was in a housefire from my first, and it still blows air mostly out the front! Since moving up to a 'high bypass' leaf blower (😎) that can scream more air in for crucible days, my only problem is finding good diameter stainless steel that won't melt! Oddly enough, charcoal chimney-style starters are a lot more durable than you'd think for that purpose, or I lucked out and the factory that day was running Inconel, ha!
    Yes, your coupler is silicone and will handle ~800F, though as you said, as long as air is passing through and around it, you'd have to worry about the welds melting down first long before your heat ever gets way down there!

  • @potsy9973
    @potsy9973 Рік тому

    I used the outer 16" rim ring from a cube van dually truck. The portion the tire would mount to unbolts and is then the perfect size for the coals. I remember the first times I started to weld. My teacher said "when your getting a good weld it should sound just like your frying up some good greasy bacon". That is a good reference when learning to weld imo. You'll squeeze a few more cfm using hairdriers if you disable the heating coil, since the colder the air becomes the more dense it becomes, its obvious that equals a hotter forge. That's merely nit picking ISPO. But if you can use a touch more of cfm it helps to get it there. Thanks for the upload blacksmith I always find some tips that are useful.

    A drum from a Dump truck....or a truck around that size.... that piece of hose is a bellows from a Turbo charge vehicle...you can purchase it at parts store...it's silicone. Awesome 😎 Video Thanks

    For a better air source for free try a blower from a retired high efficiency furnace. I use one to burn stumps out of the ground. works really well.

      You can also use a shop vac in reverse and just put a simple reostat on to an extension cord so you can regulate he amount of air blowing through....can do the same with a hair dryer too, but with a shop vac you can get the vaccum farther away from the heat with extra hose.

    Hi Kevin I have being looking at different small forges in you tube and really I have not found nothing that I like or it was safe enough which a person still have to be safe but any how i like that style of forge you made I think and can make one like that and it would do for what I want to do make knifes and so on ..Kevin it was a ex video you made all the way from Northern mi .. see you mario

    this is cool! i made a forge with some bricks and a hole in the ground and i burn it with wood but i have an extra brake rotor like you have and i might make this. I dont have a welder though and also dont have any other scrap metal

    • @gee3591
      @gee3591 2 місяці тому

      if you are still reading comments, do you think i could just use this and a pipe running under it longways with holes on the top of it for air? that way i dont have to make the stand

    Great idea for an affordable forge. If I may suggest weld a car/truck rim to the top of the forge ( cut the center out of the rim ) then you would have a forge that would hold as much coal as needed. And also your building cost would me minimal.
