Thank you all so much for the replies. Certainly got me thinking! I think you may be correct Frosty, brick is pretty permanent after all, if i'm not happy with where its sited then i can change it around. Would gas be a an ok starting option? I'm just thinking its more mobile as a chimney and flue wont be required. That way I don't have to go punching holes in my shed roof just yet! PS Rob, sorry totally missed that reference, doh!

Hi Rob, thanks for the welcome! Leeds? That's the midlands surely? :D PS Tommy? I think I may have missed something there old bean :)

Good day folks! Just recently discovered this forum and my word, its a gold mine of information! I've never swung a hammer at hot metal before, but looking to start construction of a forge in my garage/shed over the coming weeks. Making a start on clearing and such like tomorrow morning. I don't have the ability, or skill, to weld but I'm a dab hand at brick laying and joinery (lots of practice in renovating my house) so i think I'm going to mostly build it out of house bricks and fire bricks. If anyone is interested I'll log the build with photos and make a thread in the forges section. I'm sure I'll be bombarding all of you veterans with questions before long! Cheers :)
