Sorry. Can’t post videos from other than phone. Will try pics later. 

Here what I was trying to show in video. Hardpiped propane in from tank location. Regulators at both locations. Prepped for future bigger tank outside. 

So far so good. 

yikes.....it was a nice try...

Hardpiped in propane. 2 pounds -2000 degrees. 

Pretty cool. Almost dialed in. 

Sorry if video too hard to download. 

I built this forge if i need to work on pass through work.

thanks guys

as far as the pass through option on the forge, I did have my buddy leave both ends open but i have the back side packed shut with brick as it sits against another layer of fire brick and then a wall. I plan on using the oval gas forge for any pass through needs.....(I know, what a luxury....) my thought with this forge was to build it big enough for the odd shapes i am encountering but to be able to shrink the internal volume by packing it with soft bricks.....we will see.

I have an air curtain built for any dragons breath on the front but with the doors shut it seems fine as far as the control panel, Plus, I know a good electrician if it decides the heat is too much, and i can always place a larger fire brick above it.

next on the agenda.....treadle hammer......

Built ribbon burner and bigger gas forge. Just need to tweak it in

very cool hammer rack

very nice

Bubba- the chili burners are fantastic. my thermocouples stop reading at around 2100 degrees and the forge temps seem to blow past that, so I'm sure they will forge weld in a well built forge. I have not forge welded in this forge as I use my coke forge for that.

I'm sure you will be happy with the chili-burners as I know a few others who have them and have heard nothing bad about them.

Good luck with the shop rebuild.

sold the W/W hammer to make room for the Kens hammer.

Thanks

I love the swage block. use it mostly on end for artsy things, the occasional punch backing......I would'nt have a shop without one.

thanks guys

Finished flower themed pencil holder

Built stand for swage block.

Letter opener for our next blacksmiths meeting. 

The first 2 are prototypes with the left being the one I’ll donate. 

Thanks, yes ,indeed.

Thanks

was nice to just play around and make keychains. 

I ended up wrapping the stand with leather. 

Not the best job but acceptable.
