Just finished my first forge and got it going today! Seems to work pretty well, but I'm still a newbie, I'm sure I could do some more work to it.
I used a stainless steel two basin sink, with 2x4 frame. one side of sink is the forge, other side for quenching. Filled forge side with dirt and used inch and a quarter steel pipe for tuyer, it through the drain hole. Got a ninety at the bottom that my shop vac hose fits into. It seemed to pump out too much air at first, so I drilled a couple holes in the tip of the vac hose. And now, got it heating up steel! Just as I got it going, my brother stops by with a 2foot section of rail he found for 5 bucks at a yard sale! What do you guys think?
