Building Forges and Fire Pots for the group

Fri, 13 Jul 2018 12:58:49 +0000

I am currently building forges to increase the opportunities for members to have forge time, and so that we can offer classes. At the moment I am working on two forges and fire pots.

To make the template for the fire pots I took a five inch wide piece of steel and drew a line perpendicular to the edges. I then measured 2.5" each way from the top of that line and 5" each way from the bottom of the line. I then connected those point and cut out the template. Because all four sides of the fire pot are the same, I could then cut all the sides by simply flipping the steel on the saw for each cut.

The forge shown here is still under construction and will receive lips around the sides of the table and a fabricated tuyer.
