I picked up this little farm forge to try to move into coal forge work.
Blower and all related mechanics work well after a little cleaning and lubrication.
My questions are:
What all am I missing? I assume a grate is needed to be made,
Does the little bowl seem right? It doesn't sit flush.
Line it with some clay I assume, but should I bevel the clay down to the grate that I'll make, should I use the clay to form more of a fire pit?
The holes in the pan look like they were intentional, as in something was bolted down to it. Any idea what?
Any other thoughts opinions or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
