Unforgivun Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Well, there's all types of stuff on these forums. This is the forge that Jeffro1205 and myself use. I would like to point out that I had absolutely nothing to do with the creation of this forge. Jeff did all the cutting, construction, etc. Let us know what you guys think, we're always open to constructive criticism :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Lengthen the ash tube and make larger openings in the grate if you experience any problems. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Trez Cole Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 very nice Job the only 2 cents I would offer is the fire pot should be level with the hearth makes it easer to rake and mound up your coal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Allyn Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Nice forge. What did the firepot begin life as? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewed Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I agree with Glen, lengthen the ash pipe ( below the tee ) and more/ bigger air holes ( if you need them.) Also, perhaps, some lengths of metal between the legs at the bottom, near the wheels, just to add some strength down there. That will keep stress off the legs when moving it.

Pat Roy Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I agree with Frances Trez Cole, lower the fire pot level with the table. I would also put some cross bracing on the legs. Other than those points, light 'er up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unforgivun Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 I need to take a few updated photos. Since those pictures were taken (at that time the forge had only been fired up probably 4 or 5 times) there has been the addition of braces on the bottom on the legs and a few other adjustments. The firepot isn't quite level with the table but it realy isn't that high off of the table either. It probably only has about a 1/4" lip.
