Tiger brand blower, home made forge out of a 45 gal drum. The seller threw in a small 4" vice and a couple pairs of tongs. All of which need some TLC .

Thanks Frosty for the reply . I have most of the stuff I need to build a propane forge only short a few bricks [ LOL]. I all ready have a little one I built a few years ago but I have out grown it. I was just curious about what he was using as insulation having not seen anything about it on the forums here . The other video of using that stuff to make a one brick forge the guy really needs to look at your T burner plans. jmac

Thanks Tim I was a little skeptical about what I was watching [If it,s on the internet it has to be true] I tried googeling it up and I kept getting sent to that site jmac

Hers a link to a youtube video using this stuff https://youtu.be/P1Ks_Fybtfg thanks jmac

I watched a couple of YouTube video's using this product as a refractory or just drilled a couple of holes in it to make a minnie forge. Can somebody decode this information into something I can understand . [The Ytong Energy PLUS blocks are produced from Sand, Lime, Cement and Aluminium Oxide. The outher layers are made from Aerated Concrete with a density of 340 kg/m3 the the core is made from a highly insulating Autoclaved Aerated Concrete with a density of 115 kg/m3 The thermal conductivity 10 dry is (P=90%) : 0,0899 W/mK ] Thanks jmac

Kinda a rescue pup .Xmass puppy turned out they could not deal with her.Pic of her first day with me rite after she pulled my travel bag of the chair and peed in it;She has me well trained now. jmac

Are you shure there is only 2 filing sides on it , Years ago I saw a 4 sided sharping stone each side got finer .It looked a lot like that I was told it was for knife makers jmac

Thanks for the reply's and info guys. After about a hr I found the plans again I'm sticking with them. jmac

To funny I just heard that song on the radio

If you realy want to get old school there called single jacks not star drills .Single jack [one man use] double jack [two men one man holds one hits] I have one I blunted the tip and use it to make stars on my wizard hats

Take a look at this way .lots of practice with tapering, hammer control ,pretty easy to build

I know I read it some where on here but cant find it again. Size of fire opening and flue size [12in flue] some how I have it my head that the fire opening should be smaller than the flue or do,s it not matter. thanks jmac

I,m with you on this , The best way to clean it up more is to heat some steel and start forging it will planish up nicely .jmac
