I have big grinder for that but I feel like I betray trade by not forging out blade by grinding it.

should i split it with grinder or i can drawn that thiner part out to make it longer but thiner but iam afraid i will make coldshuts with rying to forge it that way. Making it narower then wider but longer.

Can I build froe from leaf spring? Even I have that coil part which it make is easier to forge only blade. Is that good steel for froe? I thought about cutting that coil part but when it's already there why don't use it for eye of froe?

Look how horn is ruined too. I can guess those steps were made for sycthe forging . But still crime .

Well if it walk like duck , sound like douck its duck If it chop like axe, look like axe its axe.

Here we can post pictures of worst crimes done to anvils by humanity. Saw this anvil and had cringe. Lookhow top plate is cut of from Austrian patern anvil and now he probably lost hardened part of it. What crime was done to this poor anvil.

It's could be internet connection , or I was too exited cause my first axe it is , and maybe I was hatcheted (I'd I build hacksaw ) I would be hacked

Made this axe/ tomahawk Made this axe/ tomahawk Made this axe/ tomahawk Made this axe/ tomahawk Made this axe/ tomahawk Made this axe/ tomahawk

@JHCC Maybe its harmfull for fan /blower to have returned air from forge, i guess some gases can be or sparks in chamber that have flaps .

I made it just to help others , i dont have any need to use it since it need more adjsuting, i have 2 ways on how to deliver air to forge. Hope this gave someone idea. It was just experiment, but it can lighten fire and make it hot to very nice temprature for forging , and can be used as forge blower

I think food for charcoal not hard too much VID_20240804_131402.mp4 VID_20240804_131402.mp4

Let's be honest , did you ever heard Les noisy forge blower VID_20240804_112156.mp4 VID_20240804_112156.mp4

To be honest I have electric blower and bellows this was just my experiment and my old fan annoyed me because housing for dan was bad and tried this to see how it fiddle . tied vire to it and fan was moved a little bit up and fastened with wire it get less vibration . Daswulf Well yeah it need reduction for sure but this air is what forge need because of design of squid cage blades , they are shaped so they give less pressure and more air. Only parts that were removed from actual fan

It was not my intention to do that, maybe to fool phew. I meant few. In my language we read as we write. Car would be Kar, and we have some letters that don't exist in english like for example. Č-ch š-sh Ć -ts dž- J like jack džek

The bigger it's better

Well I Didnt get much help from my fan so I converted it in forge blower Maybe it help someone . It's just old car squirl cage attached to fan. Will it work probably, will I use it in future Ian not sure. VID_20240802_105500.mp4 Got inspired by this video

I knew it that's was just my Bosnian humor

What would husband refer to wife as dear , isn't that animal

Well it's not today since I don't work when it's so hot outside like 40 Celsius , those using imperials will have to excuse me . I only moved bellows to corner so I have more space in shop.

About chimney height I have one problem there is neighbour tree near me and there is religious building to be precise mosque (I'd that matter )in our village that's what I allways use short chimney , u know I'd I build it larger all smoke would go to neighbours. And Ian afraid of sparks going all way through roof so I use elbows to bend them outside 3 deer.

Again I got my hands to buy exuadt pipe is 10 inches diameter good around 25 cm ? Can I go with 9 does it affect if I choose wider diameter ?

Can I use aluminium flexible pipes that are used for kitchen hoods ?

Frosty here seams can't be opened up you got § circle if this is greek f symbol you got like 4 inches closed circle and that's all So I would be better making hole larger or building this like branch type stove it would suck air better Maybe two separate pipes suck better then one but Ian not sure I will look up to it maybe I can build something from sheet metal it can be squerish. What about spiral pipes are they toxic because they have Zink in it or some sort of thing .

Billy why I can't make two separated pipes that draw away smoke why it must be joined together. Well if I will ripcut stove pipe I can in advance say I will get it ruined and will have two halves ruined pipes and U bend sheet metal. Can you tell me guys which diameter is supposed to be good for forge chimney ? Mine is 4 inch around 10 cm how much I need for it to draw good. And I tend to avoid it being tall above roof I only expel smoke trough elbow where I can control if some fire catch up or something happen. I also need to cut ball more or dig it in dirt because this ( shape make it not to lay flat and hole goes up too much.

You are welcome frosty I allways read your name as foresty like forest not like frost frozen . Well Iam back In shape but I had issue with back from January 14 th and didn't light forge and strike anvulo more then two months . Now Ian better but doctors wrote :Avoid working hard phisical work in bad posture Of course I took chance and when I came to work said them I can't lift more then 10 kilos , and I need to be spared for couple of time. I gave that paper to office of guy that is supposed to be responsible for safety on work. I did that so I can legally a bit be protected. Funny thing is I got backpain from working in factory with food lifting small weights like 5 kilos and wrapping pallet with stretching foil. Sudden movement and it all was done after 10 seconds couple of days worked and got finished ,hardly stand on feet and went to doctor.
