  1. thxs for the help i would like a solid forge and i have tried and couldn't get any fire clay around here but if you know of a place between jeff city and st. louis let me know. my dad suggested i use concrete and sand but i wasnt sure. let me know what you think
  2. i made a forge in my metal working class all i needed was some fire clay to insulate the sides but the person i was supposed to get it from fell through and at that point my dad pointed out that the sides where to smooth to hold it ... then my dad took most of the metal on it for his solar wax melter so i have a 3 by 3 square on 4 three foot legs... there prolly is a better way to say that but im tired. so if any one has any plans of how to build or a plce to get a forge somewhere between st.louis and jeff city in M.O. let me know.
  3. i am around St.louis my parents are parinoid so thats all i can say my forage is a solid fuel forge and i have been studying froges and what i ment by hunches and internet i s the design of the forge i used un galvinized or zinc metal ( im a bad typer) my first design was from a book that used a tire rim i just changed it to 4 pipes going down and metal connecting then to a kind off square funnel, i was just doing the start till i could get someone who knows what to do from there. thanks for the sites ill check them out. im suposed to be doing some school work know so i need to get of i will check back when i get home.
