What kind of file should i use for carving out the rest of my RR track hardy hole. I heard that a flat bastard file would be the best, but it was vague in context. thanks!
-
beautiful all the way around.

Alright. I think i will put a small layer of clay to flatten it out a little, then ash it up. Will report findings.

ok, i have a thin piece of metal on the bottom of my coal forge. it is a side blast. i need to make the bottom flat and line it so it doesn't burn through.

side blast coal forge, inlet about 1 1/2" above the bottom. Should i get pre-mixed refractory cement?

I would love to see any lucky finds from steel yards, thrift shops, flea markets, yard sales, etc. etc. Post pics if possible! Cant wait to see what you guys have found!

Quick question, Will a forge fire burn through the bottom of my forge (side of a 55 gal drum)? thanks

I found some shale. Not REALLY weird, but still kind of odd

Leather works great for me. I can still feel, but it keeps the heat out and wont melt

Graphite on a chemical level is the purest of the pure coal. you might be able to use it as fuel?

yeah, me and my dad put our heads together over about a week. about 33" high with anvil, 27" without. weighs at least 50 pounds and made with 4x4 posts and 2x6 planks anvil mounted with holes in the bottom of the anvil. old belt salvaged for tool rack. Thanks for the kind words ^_^

I can't order a piece of steel with a budget of about $5.00 so i have to look for a "somewhere in the ballpark" guide. This is my contribution. You dont have to follow it, it is just a rough, possible, steer you in the right direction guide. not a fact sheet. Thank you for reading and comments.

I actually made a blog post about this in my blog. here is on of the pics. more in said blog

heater disabled. I thought ahead

This is JUST A REFERANCE SHEET I am NOT ADVOCATING FOR ONE OR THE OTHER, THAT IS YOUR CHOICE This sheet may be used as you want. Redistribution is fine by me
