    I'm 16 and in high school, this is exactly what I did. I used this setup, drilled holes in the pipe, sealted the other end and put a fire on top of the pipe. Then used mud and bricks to make walls to keep heat in. Works like a charm. I'm making a new one right now, legit just took a break to watch this, out of an old tire rim that I found outside of someone's trash pile

    Your titel is wrong. There is a way to make it cheaper. Just dig a whole in the gound an dig a tunnel for the hairdryer.

    Teaching how to build it might be better than saying how cheap and easy it is

    For forge welding the hairdryer may not cut it. I had to get a dust blower to get the volume. But other than that it is that simple. Even made a tempering oven for a machete from that setup by adding some bricks and sticking the hair dryer and pipe into the ground.

    You may also use a piece of an automobile exhaust pipe.

    I've seen one made from a wheel rim and a hairdryer too.

    I went to the thrift store and asked for a 2,000 year old hair dryer

    I just sold some railroad track to an inspiring young man was trying to help him research a setup. This is a good video the only disclaimer I can add is make sure it is not a galvanized chunk of pipe. Fume fever is serious and I have given it to myself from working clad materials, chromed wrenches for example are clad.

    Been forging for years now and this by far the best and easiest video to get started with I showed it to my friends just to shut them down thank you

    Hey purgatoryironworks, Yours was the last video, (this one to be exact), that I consumed before going out into the yard and just building the damn thing. As of yesterday, it has been a month since I built that primitive in ground forge and I have already started building another of a different design with some iron chairs, other various parts and an old sink I am clay coating. Thank you for the last motivational kick. After 32 years(probably even as a baby) of blacksmithing interest, I am now doing blacksmithing action. Thanks again my brother. I'm the one hammering, but I might have put it off for who knows how much longer, had I not been watching your video that day. Keep it up.

    Been watching your stuff for a while. Trying something like this for myself tomorrow. Like your take on a lot of things

    Quick fill air mattress pumps are nice! They have a nice lifespan if you take care of em, they come with a nice hose if you want some extra wiggle room. Been using mine almost daily for a year and still has a powerful enough gust to get you to forge welding heat. I made my forge from an old raised steel fire pit. Old smoker attachments could work too it you're looking to make it propane and add burners.

    I can say with 100% confidence that it may not be the money for it but the space for it. I could buy the items you suggest however, I may not have the proper area, or space to "build a yard fire". The right space is also a huge resource needed. Living in an apartment with rules about not fires tends to put a damper on forging metal.

    Thanks for posting this, man. Great video think I'm gonna go that route for my first forge
