Well, the problem for,me issnt the wall, its the ceiling of my shelter,that's what I'm calling the underpinning

So wait, to make sure I'm understanding correctly are u saying basically take the cement board and basically attach it to the underpinning on my shelter?

Tbh I use it so the heat from the fire doesn't melt the sophet of my shelter lol

So, I just finished adding a so-called roof to my forge, my logic is the bricks will help hold in some more of the heat, and at the same time will be high enough to still be able to add fuel tell,me what y'all think about it also any ideas or any advice is appreciated

Thar is really cool to be honest

I like that well, we have our headstones covered now that's priceless

Lol wow all the responses

Sounds like a plan

Ok that seems like the best idea thanks a lot Thomas

Yes it still works but anytime you bend it it just cracks apart

Ok so, me and my dad were cleaning one of our buildings other day and I found an old pack of sandpaper, and he said I could have it if I wanted it. The problem is that I guess since it is so old if you bend it(like maybe around 35 or 45 degrees) or fold it it just breaks at the bend and I was wondering is there any way to salvage it and is it worth the time and castle to salvage it?

Right now I'm using a hairdryer and I'm using homemade charcoal The Idk what a double action bed pump looks like, any other ideas for other old blowers/pumps that I could repurpose Noise level isn't an issue for me

Ok so then, the smaller one has a smaller capacitor, and less amps but it has higher RPM'S than the bigger blower So which one is better, the blower is going to be about a foot and a half from the firepit

Must be nice

Ok so my blower that I have been using for my JABOD forge is sounding like it's gonna die soon so I figure chang it while I can and I was thinking of using a blower from an old Christmas decorations that isn't any good anymore, I have 2 blowers that I can use atm, one is bigger and one is smaller and my question is which should I use? Here is the list of information for them both Both of them are 120V, 60Hz, and both are thermally protected The smaller one has 0.442A written after 60Hz(I know Hz means hertz but what does A mean) and is says that is is 3130RPM and that the Capacitor is 2.0 MFD(What does the 2.0 mean and what does MFD mean) The bigger blower says 1.58A, it is 2750 RPM, and the Capacitor is 9.0MFD As always any help is very much appreciated

Yup I hate it lol

nah Id say get 3 home depots, 1 for inside work (grinding, cutting with power tools etc.) 1 for forging and other outside work, and 1 for storage of metal and other such stuff

I was thinking if I have the work table setup similar to the way it is in the picture I posted earlier and I could make some sort of door facing/covering, which to be honest the stuff I am intending to store there is stuff that honestly doesn't matter if it is covered in dust lol but are there any ideas for how to limit how much dust ect. gets on the stuff?

ok that makes since , im just worried that the curved belt wheel will be hard to get to that way

That makes sense, basically I make knives and other things and for the most part the bench grinders will be for working on the spin and such(so I can save on belts) and the sand is for everything else

So I guess sander in the center, and a bench grinder on each of the narrow ends? The table is 7' 4 1/2" ×2'

ok thanks a lot Gene, I was assuming the rule of thumb would be about the same as the rule of thumb for anvil height but wanted to make sure now my other question is this, this table is going to be chiefly just a grinding/sanding table on top and storage underneath(similar to the attached picture) and I wanted to know what would probably be the most efficient way to position my 2 benchgrinders and my 1 belt sander? the table is going to be open all the way around so they can face any direction

so I guess my best bet is to base the table height on how high I want the grinders and sanders to be?

Will do, just didn't know if there was a baseline, like I know how to find the approximate height for an anvil you should be able to stand up straight and be able to hammer without bending your back or arm, I didn't know if the same logic worked for the table or not

I really love that idea
