How To Make A Cheap Oil Drum Forge
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- This video shows how you can make a cheap soiled fuel forge without any welding and for under 60 dollars instead of the 500 dollars a new one costs on ebay. This design is made to be fuel efficient and is mainly used whit charcoal as it do not have a bottom valve to catch heavyer fuel types.

Excellent tutorial. @11:40 you cut an octagonal shape to cut out a circle. I always knew that and used it with wood but never with metal. “Thinking Outside The Box...” thank you immensely for that, sometimes I don’t have a tool to cut a certain shape and your reminder that patience and time I could build or do anything.
Thanks. I got mine put together and have forged two knives already. Thanks for the 💡
your welcome and I'm glad to hear it :D
Put it on youtube
I just made this with a few exceptions. I used a bigger rotor and instead of a grate I used broken up fire bricks and I had to use some plate steel to bridge the gap between the pipe and the rotor. Just wanted to say ty for the inspiration.
another way to improve on this is to put a T fitting in there instead of the 90, any dust and bits coming down the pipe isn't going to roll down into the hair dryer
Awesome, bought a 40 gallon drum just for this purpose! Thank you 👍
Nice video!! There is actually a very simple forge to make you just make two fire bricks walls and a clay/soil layer at the bottom. You then just add a blower under a wall (maybe two ag two different places for longer pieces) the problem is you can't move it...
for someone starting out, or just doing smaller work, this is a good starter forge. Thank you for the video. however, you should re think your music choice's.
bos dad yup those kinda musics are cringe
Yeah, was kinda wondering about that awkward background music
bos dad needs some Pantera or something
Amazing you know this is also my imaging I always want to create this thing for show the world.Thanks for making this!
Your use of metal is impressive
Blow dryer as a blower was great! I want to make some custom gouges. This looks like the way I'll go. Thanks for the video man!
Fair play mate, ignore all the negative keyboard warriors you have actually made it and it works. People will always say you didn't do this, you should do that but truth is they ain't you so stuff em. Good work
I need this dude to beat all the dings n dents outta my car bodywork
Okay boys and girls. Just a simple tip. Before drilling on something round. 1 secure in a vice of sorts. Mark where you wish to drill. Get a center punch and give it a whack use a small drill bit (roughly the size of your center punch diameter) to create a pilot hole before stepping up to your desired diameter.
Cool. A special thanks to the 12 year old girl who selected your music.
Nice design but you should have lowered the top to around 3/4 the way into the drum then cut out two sections of the material at the top that way you could forge larger things and put in more wood to get a higher temperature
a pop rivet in the tube connecting the hair dryer would do wonders.
Or an appropriately sized o-ring clamp.
Just a friendly critique. The music is horrible. Forging is done with metal! And I am not technical enough, to understand exactly what it all is you're doing during the music. I think you'd be a lot better off by either talking over it after production, or just add text to explain the steps a bit more detailed. It is a guide after all. Other then that, I will try and make up something like this, since I have the barrel. Thanks for the inspiration! :)
That has to be one most awesome thing i have ever seen on you tube ever i have always wanted a forger thanks i think im going to make one thanks you
your welcome to make your own :D, however, I would suggest you making my new gas powered forge instead as it is cheaper to use and easier to control :) Link: ua-cam.com/video/Ou0ddpdT-8s/v-deo.html
What are you using for heat wood charcoal or coal
Muy bueno!! La única observación es q te faltó la cadena en el yunke.
2 questions
1. Why no ash trap?
2. Why did you invert the lid?
Thanks
I’m more interested in that anvil, you have a video on making that?
Thanks for sharing, well done....
If you are going to go to the length of drilling through that coupling to put a bolt through it why don't you put a round piece of sheet metal on it and turn it into a flow control valve?
Wow good ideas. 👌👌
make metal cone dome with small exhaust opening at top to put over it while heating and your get higher temp with less fuel.
You are a great person you have golden hands
Thank you for the compliment, i appreciate it :)
Mohd Hassan and
My understanding always was that you needed a thicker bed of coals than that or you would get too much oxygen on the steel, which leads to brittleness.
I built one of these years ago with a steel wheel instead of a barrel. I would love to hear if he still uses this one. Mine was quickly retired because it took forever to heat stock, and the pan was too shallow for both heating and for heating longer stocks in the middle. I did not find these furnaces very effective except for "tip work" on shorter works. For working long rebars they just dont work
I normally only use it for larger objects now, as my homemade gas forge is a lot cheaper and easier to use :) you can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/Ou0ddpdT-8s/v-deo.html
Awesome video man. Great idea.
Why would you do that to music
I know... after a couple of minutes I had to mute it. That is the kind of music that’s meant to be played very faintly in the background, while people are talking just to give a little bit of white noise.
EXCELENTE GRACIAS
Damn, i never thought of this, i'll definitely have to try this
Do you think it can work with torch blower instead of coal ?
Det er fantastisk godt arbejde du laver i dine videoer og det er virkelig beroligende at følge med i. ☺👍
jeg er glad for at du syndes godt om mine videoer og tak for at du vil se med :)
Helt sikkert du. Keep it up! ☺
ua-cam.com/video/6To2s_4Zs-g/v-deo.html Me encanto el resultado, pero falto un poco de detalle (pintura), el yunque pa pulir.
This is arguably the cheapest way to make a forge for a beginner. Most pros tend to suggest welding a bunch of steel together, but also forget that welding equipment and training to use it safely can cost several thousand dollars if you're starting from zilch.
You should make a video war you make a tran track anvil
Me encanto el resultado, pero falto un poco de detalle (pintura), el yunque pa pulir.
Awesome 👍👍👍👍
Pretty good!
Bien vu !!!
Bravo !

Well seen !!!

Ps, how could I soften my steel as I start hammer it flat, and when I'm done do I or not quench my work, when not finished???
Don't quench while in the middle of working it, only after your forge work is done.
Before you quench you need to normalize the piece to take out all of the stress that was put into it during forging. To do this, heat the blade until it is non-magnetic, then run the blade through the forge to make it have a uniform colour, then let it air cool to ambient temperatures, it is suggested to have it sitting on an insulating surface like insulated firebricks, kaowool (used to insulate gas forges) or vermiculite. Do this three times.
This shrinks the grain structure, making your blade stronger, and less likely to break or warp when quenching it. You are free to straighten the piece if it warps between heat cycles, but be gentle and don't heat beyond non-magnetic.
After normalizing do most of your grinding work except sharpening. If you do it after you quench it will be harder to grind Make sure that the edge is still flat and blunt, or the edge will cool too quickly.
before you quench it in oil, preheat the oil by dipping a red hot piece of junk metal, like rebar. Cold oil isn't wet enough, and doesn't transfer heat efficiently because it the molecules don't move between each-other easily.
Finally, to quench it, heat it to non-magnetic, run it through the forge to make the colour uniform, then dip it in.
With water quenching, you have to stir the water to prevent steamy gas bubbles from ruining you quench.
After quenching, you need to temper, because after the quench, the blade is very hard, and very brittle. The easiest way is to stick it in an oven at 500 and wait an hour or two.
After that, you can sharpen, polish, and create a handle. Make sure to dip in water if you are using a sanding belt or grinding wheel after tempering. If you get it too hot (which can totally happen with power tools), you will create a soft spot. You can tell by the metal turning purple.
great job. nice
What was the reason for the bolts I don't get that part of the build
Through the rotor I mean
To plug up the holes in the rotor.
Bravo man keep it up enjoying it alot
buena idea
Is this plantcock?
Interesting video. So most of the barrel was just there to get height like a stand or table? It looks like the functional parts of your forge were made from a brake rotor, a drain grate, some plumbing, and a hair dryer. I'd have liked your video better if the beginning part was centered in the frame more. I'm so glad you improved that toward the end. B for cinematography, A for ingenuity of product.
i want to cry of shame when i see the hair dryer
Eh, if it works, That's the most important part.
coffin dodger - AMEN Brother!!!
Ron Yerke 🚗
As a machinist it hurt my soul to see you use those calipers to scribe the metal. But good video!
When you made the collar for the hair dryer why not save yourself a lot of effort and time and simply weld it on?
Welding sheet metal is difficult....hose clamps would work just as well. Not everyone has a welder.
Bravo
Nice
How do you get the ash out?
wah, ur so talented O_O
Thanks :D
very well
Hi there this is a grate forge. One thing I want to know the 2 inch male female pipe bend .is 2 inch internal and the end you put in to the wheel hub hole is 3 inchs external thanks in advance. Ps how muth would sell your knife for the one you made from the spring fabulous.
Y como limpiar las cenizas ?
Great idea, good work, terribly annoying music.
mabe a cooling fan from and old refrigerator works longer than the hair dryer
I made a forge out of a steel car tire rim.
I am interested in this. Do you have a video or tell me how please. leon.myburgh0@gmail.com. Will be glad if you can help me.
musik playlist?. Very good job on work and song choice. Thx
Primero antes de hacer una fragua arregla las mordazas de la morza y con el fuego hace unos choripanes y después hace algo forjado
No me gusto con un llanta de automotor hubiese salido mejor aparte uso el calibre para marcar como compas para marcar el circulo eso es un sacrilegio esa herramienta delicada para los que somos del ambito de la metalurgica
Arlo tu mejor ke critikar
Even though I can't read what your saying I still left a like
What rotor is that from
probably a dodge 3500, or the chevy/ford equivalent
4:20 song plz
お疲れさまでした。
i like you accent where are you from if i might be so rude to ask? ^^
It's not rude to ask that at all :)
I'm from scandinavia more specific Denmark :D
OMG!!!!! sig til hvis du har brug for noget plan tegnings værk! XD jeg er igang med at uddanne mig til smed så jeg kunne godt bruge lidt træning xD
Super fedt at høre, jeg bruger godt nok ikke så meget tegninger når jeg går og laver noget selv. Det er mere en organisk proses hvor jeg har en plan i hovedet og udformer den løbende, men tak for tilbudet :D hvilken type smed vil du så uddanne dig til? jeg er selv uddannet industritekniker som ikke ligger så fagligt langt væk :D
bare normal sort klejnsmed :)
Det er også en god stabil uddannelse, med rig mulighed for job når du er uddannet :D
Hi the anvil you use haw much paunds are
Maniefique /// tenc you
It wont last, A forge reaches temps that easily melt cast iron. Get some fireclay.
Most professional firepots are cast iron. You run into issues when your firepot (whatever that may be) is deep and has steep walls, as the heat will rise into the walls, but on a shallow design like this you should be good. And if you need to raise the depth of your fire pot, you can put fire bricks next to it to make a larger coal pile.
You are losing a RIDICULOUS amount of energy with every single swing of your hammer. At least 50% or more of your energy is being absorbed between the loose connection between your anvil and that block of wood and the gravel you have it sitting on. You should get rid of the wood and fasten that anvil to a metal base which weighs at least 10x as much as the anvil itself then place that on a solid foundation. If you have to pour yourself a small pad of concrete at least 3 foot by 3 foot by 4 inches deep. Though it would be better if you have a much larger concrete pad to put it on. If you do this you will find that you get FAR greater effect from each swing of your hammer and your projects will then take far less time and energy to form on the anvil.
dude wood works jsut fine its been around for a long time lol
It's maybe worth it if you're a professional but if you're just making stuff for fun i don't think it's a need and old timer blacksmiths had big pieces of wood under their anvils.
50% seems a little too high
Blacksmiths have been mounting their anvils to a big heavy wooden stumps for thousands of years. Finally K162KingPin has come along and shown everyone what dumb asses that they have been all of this time. Thank you for sharing your wis-dumb with us all. Now, perhaps you can put on your thinking cap and figure out why you are wrong or you can continue believing everyone else is stupid. You could try pounding on a piece of steel sitting on concrete for 10 or 12 hours and then try it the other way and report back to the class.
@@rehoboth_farm Someone else necro posted this then deleted it or I'd have never noticed this idiotic comment lmfao. Lets see... things people did for thousands of years that we now know how to and have the ability to do much better.
1) Fastening an anvil to something better than a log.
2) Wiping our asses, most of us dont use grass or our hand anymore. Feel free to keep doing it the way people did for thousands of years.
3) Refrigerating and freezing food. Feel free to live in the arctic circle where it never gets below freezing or just let your food spoil every few days. That is how it was done for thousands of years
4) Clean water. For most of human history people drank from unfiltered unsteralized ponds, wells, streams, lakes, rivers, etc. This caused all kinds of illnesses, infections, etc which were nothing less than horrible to live with and not uncommon to die from. Now we sterilize our water with chlorine, put fluoride in it to make our teeth last longer, sweetener so it doesn't taste like sewer water.
5) Overwhelming unreasonable devotion to religion. Most people now days don't really believe in a god. Many claim they do because those around them claim they do so they want to fit in. At least in our part of the world you wont find anyone burning children alive as a sacrifice to their god, or invading other towns and cities killing men, woman, children, and even animals because they worshiped another god. Sadly this is how most of human history has been.
Just because something was done "for thousands of years" my no means makes it better in any way. Did you consider than blacksmiths putting anvils on a log might be the reason they were so unproductive that the industrial revolution didn't happen for thousands of years? Blacksmiths have been around for as long as written history at least 7,000 years. The anvil has been around for at least 6,000 years. I bet when someone invented the anvil all the other blacksmiths where like...
"Why don't you just beat your metal fragments against a rock? That's how everyone else has done it for hundreds of years. But I guess we needed you to come along and tell us we have been doing it wrong all this time." Then they probably found some stupid religious reason to kill him.
Ultimately people like you have attempted to stall progress for as far back as someone else's better idea made them feel stupid. You didn't think up something better so you cling to the past like a child with its blanket. You feel safe in what you know but you are afraid at anything new and so you lash out like a child. It's pathetic and you are beneath this conversation. Grow up. Try to realize that if you are the dumbest person in the room its probably best not to open your mouth and let everyone know.
Okay ...I can't go the music.....
Could not enjoy the video for the obnoxious music!
😃
Turn down the volume
Song at 12:00?

PLEASE be careful when using any high speed rotating tool while wearing GLOVES ! This can rip your hands to pieces, pulling it in to the rotating object. DANGEROUS! That manic "music" was enough to make me turn it off
Фен сгорит за пару часов . Есть кулиры , есть вытяжки , итд . Тем более фен очень громко работает .
To make it nicer in an easy way, dig up some clay and level everything off uo to the level of the tureen.
Too tiny. Way too small. Alot of unnecessary work for a forge that size. Why
Music is abit excessive.
the coal burn area is to small , it needs to be redesigned !!
Ricky nelson ... for a first up forge it’s good enough to get started , I’d be happy with it to get going on doing some forging, but your one of those experts I spose.
Ricky Nelson, if the coal burn area is large, then the consumption of coal will also be large!
Belíssima bigorna!
Furnace tape is easier 😂

I really hope the choice of music is a sick joke.
So what exactly are you using the oil drum for? Its obviously NOT as the forge , the brake rotor and hair dryer are the forge. The oil drum seems to be only a table holding your forge up , which could be done by anything from a grill to any metallic table. Please make actual forge that utilizes the oil drum.
oh ffs just buy a bit of pointy steel.
an amazing idea a good job but i want to cry of shame when i see the hair dryer
Seems like a waste of a good barrel as you're only using the top. All those bolts seem like a waste as well. Good thing my rotor only has 4 holes and I have a spare barrel lid. :P
😂😂
Intressting but why are you and others are always removing the guard and the handle from your angle grinder?... I don't get it.... It's dangerous the sparks hit your face you easy get your hands where it hurts, cut off wheels and fingers.... Or exploing cut off wheels right in your face. I work daily in a metal shop and never ever needed to remove the guard. Hmm is it possible to do it without the pipe and stick the hair dryer directly into the oil drum, when the oil drum has no big holes it might work out the same and you can save time and money not using the pipe and maybe you can build a air regulator too.
His DIY don't even have ash collector and pipe will be filled with ash very soon. If you connect the hairdryer directly to barrel ash and heat could damage hairdryer and the barrel will burn out very quickly because it is thin.
sir makes a lot would be better dude
Sir Shit-music-a-lot
Save the wallet.use the noggin.

You are using wrong coal.
Patrick Brühl does the forge work????
@@eli1011, yes for sure - it should be only a hint.
As long he can do what he enjoys
That's not coal, it's lump charcoal. Smiths have been forging with charcoal for 2,000 years or more. Cleaner than coal and just as hot.
Just faltu🤮🤮🤮🤮
I didn't finish watching it. The music sucks. Piss poor idea using a hair dryer for a blower.
Nice, but please, lose this terrible music. Better to record your comments over the video.
dot do this nonsense, dont waste a time. Take an old bucket, throw in slightly wet clay . the contact zone with fire is plastered with clay (with salt NaCl). vacuum cleaner, piece of pipe. the price is 0 ¢
