The firepot will sit on top of the firebrick and will weight a ton I couldn’t finish today because I had to replace a door in the back of my house but since tomorrow Im off I will work on the firepot.

Thats a nice size table, did you weld the firepot to the table? Im going to leave mine on top not welded but not sure if will stay in place

Now I need to work on the firepot.

I bought coal like that in the past (Pennsylvania) for my 1905 wood/coal cast iron stove and I didn't like at all, took forever to starting burning and at the end a lot of chunks didn't even burned.

My coal forge is half way done, I was fitting the fire bricks and then I cut the hole for the firepot, should be done by the end of the week.

Thanks! I have 1/2" steel plate left over I used on my cheap Harbor Freight anvil so I used that. Slan

Hi everybody, my first post I believe, building a coal forge after I built 2 gas forges and I think the next step is a coal forge. I will post pictures of my build and the size is 22.5' x 22.5" x 1/8" , the fire pot is a 8"x 8" made with 1/2" steel, will be covered with firebrick reason for the size and will take 12 - 9"x4.5"x1.25" firebricks. Now for the blower - I will use a small blower I use for computers (powerful) and later on I will look for a real blower.
