Well, I kinda knew it wasn't gonna last forever, (wishful thinking on my part), so I hadn't planned on welding it to the frame. Thanks for the tip on bolting the frame together rather than welding. That alone will minimize some of the vapor issues. Just a side note, I'm a TBI survivor myself, by the skin of my teeth. Cheers, and thanks again

Gotta build the ship first

Because I was using a busted rivet forge, and it wasn't worth the headache. So I just thought I'd use the 55, that way I have room should I decide to do bigger projects. Besides that, I'm retiring in one year and I plan on spending my retirement at my forge.

No, I haven't gotten quite that far yet. I'm basically rebuilding my shop space right now, and the forge is going to be last because I want to do it right. So right now I'm just gathering info. As far as welding the pipe, I have a mask, eye protection,big shop fan and windows, so fumes shouldn't be too big a problem. And I will take a look at the 55 forge section. Thx

Okay, I have a 55 gal drum cut in half that I want to use as my forge. My question is can I use galvanized steel pipe as a stand for the forge?
