Man guys I was away for awhile and come back to bukoo info....... Thanks.. Pj

Im thinking on making a pry bar from a truck axle. Question is do I need to annel the bar and harden only the working ends. Or can I leave the whole thing the hardness that it is? Thanks, Pj

Are you building a cylidrical forge And is it for welding? If so The ceramic insulation is pretty ridged stuff so it needs no support to hold it up. About the Itc-100 I wouldent waste it by putting it on the steel "put it on the insulation". About the ceramic tile I really see no need for it unless you are applying Flux for forge welding then it would be a good idea because: hot flux+ceramic insulation= eventually no insulation..... "the stuff eats it like crazy!" Hope this helps, Pj P.s. If you need any ideas theres bukoo websites including a B.P. on the web http://www.iforgeiron.com/Blueprints_200-300/p2_articleid/223 Look at gos forges at the bottom of the page.

Im with t-gold a rantalin. Inventor is a very easy to learn program. I took classes though. But the program itself has some very neat capabilities .

Man that is some stunning work!

Shes in my prayers

Lets see a pic of the progress..... :mrgreen: PICS PICS we need PICS. As you can see I like PICS. Laters, Pj Ps. Did I say we need pics?? :mrgreen:

That was my type of poem. Thanks for the great reading material 8) :mrgreen:

Thats just tooooo xxxxxxx cool 8) :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Edit: words edited

cheap oven cleaner -or- simple green degreaser works good to

Cool If your looking for those qualities go for it. I was just thinking with my b*. So you smote the last dirt forge??? That made my laugh !

Archie Im no expert but save the top soil for plants use cheap Kitty litter (Bentonite clay). As from what I read it looks like your trying to spend as little as possible or make it really primitive" which there is no problem there... I have a gasser made from a coffie can :oops: " But if its the soil Im thinking about; it has way to much organic material in it to do any thing. Look at http://www.backyardmetalcasting.com/refractories.html That would be better than top soil. All these materials can be had for under 20$. Also check out http://www.vikingdesign.co.uk/tub.html This a link to the same forge your building. Later, Pj :mrgreen: P.s. If you decide to use the materials I stated the forge will be heavy :shock:

thanks for the inf guys. Iknew I could count on yall. When it quits raining around here Ill go out and do some scouting. I will get back with you guys later with som pics

There is this place by a river dam that has alot of old 1" sq. rebar and various old bridge parts. What are the chances of the rebar being wrought? Also how can I tell if it is w.i. without using a grinder? Also for the record this is a very informative site... And I hope to someday build some skill to at least contribute to the b.p. section Thanks, Pj :mrgreen:
