Hi, I was wondering if instead of having a hood and chimney on my forge (seen here) '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> I could simply suspend a piece of 12 inch ducting above my firepot Thanks, Sam

Has anyone had any luck with this blower http://www.amazon.com/Dayton-463-cfm-Exhaust-cord/dp/B0002HTF52/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hi_4 its 400 cfm and I was thinking I could hook a dimmer switch up to it to adjust the power its for this forge here :'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> Thanks, Sam

never mind im using square tubing haha I'm indecisive

oops I didn't realize that i put square tubing in the image but I will be using round tubing

but wouldnt that mean that the whole stock holder would be the length of the forge

thanks pjh, but how would I put the slides in the legs?

thanks, as for the hood it will be a section of air ducting hanging over it will this be sufficent?

Well it hasnt been built yet but here are some of my models, it also has a telescoping stock holder

bump

Thanks Jerome but I'm not working with very large stock (mostly half inch) and not in very long lengths either and this is more convenient but I do appreciate your suggestion

Thanks for all your suggestions here is my new design it has a telescoping stock suppourt and will have angle iron legs the extra area from befor5 will be used for more coal

You can see my design in the solid fuel forge section.

Thanks for the info I will make a cutout in the back. as for it being a long way to reach it will also be easily accessible from the side the way I have my shop layed out . thank you all for your suggestions and I welcome anymore (I need as many as I can get haha). Thanks again, Sam As for the legs would 2 inch angle iron work?

thanks for your advice I will use four thicker legs rather than six. As for the sides could I cut out a slot in the back since Im already planning to have it open in the front?

sure I would like to buy a good forge its just that I'm on a pretty tight buget Yes I did include an ash dump, I'm just not good enough in sketchup to make one hahahaha

sorry. for use in a brake drum coal forge ^-^

Hi, I was wondering if anybody has used this blower and if it is any good http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/DAYTON-PSC-Blower-1TDR3?cm_sp=IO-_-IDP-_-RR_VTV70300505&cm_vc=IDPRRZ1 Thanks, Sam

Hi, I have been working on a new forge and would like to hear your suggestions. I designed the hearth to be long so that I could easily stick longer peaces into the fire. The coal is only meant to be filled about 3/4 of the way towards the open end so that it doesn't fall out... So once again I would love to hear any opinions or suggestions you have. Thanks, Sam

Looking for some coal near raleigh any help would be much appreciated Thanks, sam
