  1. Shameless Bump. I too am looking to build a gas forge to replace my coal forge. I don't need any thing as simple as the zeller forge, as I have a great welding rig and ability to work with just about anything. But his plans are a pretty simple way to get up and running. I just found this plan here on the blueprints section, and it looks like exactly what I want to build. 10" 3/8 walled pipe for body. Only issue would be fullering the burner pipe, but I figure I can heat it with an oxy torch and pound it out on a rail. I'm curious, had anybody heard of using an old hot water heater tank for the forge body? I've got one sitting around, that I was going to use as a solar hot water heater, but went with a better design. Thanks in advance!
  2. Hello everybody! Got called into the site by matt87, on a comment he made on one of my blogs. About a year ago, I got a small and well worn Buffalo Forge (coal) and an ancient 100lb anvil with a horn that looked like it had been dropped on its nose from a plane. I was hooked immediately, and have been tinkering here and there for about 12 months now. I haven't dropped by until now, since I live off-grid and posting from a cell-phone is nightmarish. However, the friend who gave me the forge needed it back for some work he was doing, and now I am getting ready to build a propane forge for my job, so I figured I would be needing a touch of help in the design. Fortunately, I have a really nice welding rig and torches, so the building will be easy. The planning part... well... uhm. . . Anyways, thanks for having me!
