  1. Thanks again all for the great tips! We only drilled holes in the midle of the plate and we will try to do some insolation to get the heat up from the bottom plate. Think we will try this one out, even do it´s way to big and just see how it goes. We will for sure make a smaller one aswell! I will post some more images from the progress and let you all know how it goes! Thanks again! // Moltas
  2. Thanks both for the input! I know that the brake drum is a bit to large for an optimas forge! But think I haft to go with it for the time being. We are going to make sure that we get a rise up so coal manegment will be easier! My main question is that if u look at the hole in the brake drum we need to put a bottom there so the coal have something to sit on. Do you think that a 6 mm thick piece of metal can withstand the heat? If you have a big layer of coal on top? Or should we try using a thicker metal as the bottom piece?
  3. Hey, I have a question about the making of a brake drum forge. I will attach some pictures for you to see! The brake drum is a bit large so we are going to use a piece of metal that we drill holes in as the bottom of the fire pot. But we are not sure about what kind of metal to use as the base. We now have a 6 millimeter thick metal piece as the bottom. Woulld apriciate all the tips and help I can get! The pictures bellow are of the brake drum and the brake drum with the metal piece that we where going to use as the bottom.
