Well I hope I got this right.
I took some vacation this week and have taken the time to set up my make shift forge so I can start working on my basic skills. I was able to find some useful junk in the brush around the house. I found a section of 8" stove pipe, a 55gal barrel lid, and 6 pieces of 4'x 1/2" rebar
.
So my set up is as I said very simple I dug a hole 8" across and 12" deep. I dug another hole about a foot away that is 8" across and 8" deep then I dug a trench in between. Next I cut off a section of the stove pipe a bout 4" long leaving me about another section of about 10" in length. I used the sections of stove pipe as liners for my 2 holes so they wont collapse with use I used a 14" section of 1 1/2" pipe to join the 2 holes together to act as an air duct. I then filled in around the stove pipe and the trench to seal it all up and to make it all stable. To finish it off I set my break drum on top of the deep hole and set my 8" fan on top of the other. Works pretty good so far but this is just until I can make a stand out of the barrel lid for my break drum.
Here are a few pic's
