Just an update, I come in today and there was a forge sitting in my front door.So everything is good.Need to get some gas and fire this bad boy up!!

I really want the Forge, but it concerns me that I can't get ahold of him. I also would hate to cancel my payment when he is just a little busy right now. 

This is about diamondback forge info. I ordered one of their 2 burner blacksmith models on Saturday dec 6. I received an email about my order confirmation. They have taken my money. But I haven't heard anything else from them. None of theif phone numbers work and they are responding to email. Any suggestions ?

.

Your probably right on the opening, but about a foot to the right of the forge the whole wall is opened up. Makes alot of the smoke just blow outside.. I plan on closing that wall in with a door so I can forge in the winter without being in the wind and weather.

It seems to draw pretty good. I have 8 inch pipe right now seeing how it works out. if I need bigger pipe I can always add more. And I picked up some scrap metal from a friend of mines house. He had that old spring laying in a pile of scrap. Told me I could have it. Where I got my tray for the forge and the hood for the chimney too. Gave it all to me for free.

Added a pic of it fired up and something I was playing with. 

Pictures of my Anvil, forge and chimney setup.

Bunch of good ideas here, I built my own brake drum forge. Until I started heating up some steel I didn't realize the importance of a tray around it. Need to find something myself to put around my forge.

Oh nice, I messaged them on their site. I would like to attend one of their meetings in the near future. Learn as much as possible from them. Thanks for the info everyone.

Didn't expect this many replys this quick LoL. I live about an hour north of Dallas. In a little tiny town called Farmersville. lol.

My name is Anthony. I reciently started getting into blacksmithing. Always wanted to try it out. I built my own forge and have a 200+lb anvil on Loan.  Ive read a few of the threads on here lot of good information.  I have a few different sized ball peen hammers laying around the house. Will probably buy a 2-2.5 lb German or Sweedish hammer. I do have a quick question I read lot of people recommend building tongs. Which pair should I BUY to start off with since there are so many sized, shapes and styles?  Id like 1 pair that would be good to start off with. After I practice a bit I will start building my own.
