Donnie Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I needed something portable. Everything, except the blower came from the scrap pile. I will be doing my first public demo on the 16th. Since I have never done anything in front of a crowd, I will probably be bringing some items back to the scrap pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Salvati Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 It doesn't look like the handle has enough clearance to go all the way around? Great looking forge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 The handle clears the front of the forge. Works very well. Tested it yesterday and draws excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Browne Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Very nice. I think many people would love to have your junk pile forge as their main workpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick L. Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Donnie, Great job on the forge ! Is that a 10" stack or 12" ? I need to put one on mine. I'm still working outside the shop until I get better organized inside and handling the smoke would be a big plus. Be sure to post your work, looking forward to seeing it.

Old South Creations Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 looks good! what brand blower is that? I have an old buffalo blower on a stand that looks just like that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Thanks for the comments. Dick, it is a 10" stack. At start up the flames enter horizontally. jedsdad05, it has "The Athens Hardware Company, Athens,Ga." casted on the side of it. I have another one identical to it except it has the name "Lancaster" on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy seale Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 looks good, but i would take the 90 ell out and use a sweep ell- that may improve air flow and be easier on your arm, just my thoughts,good luck jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian.pierson Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Donnie, This is just a thought. Can you detach the blower from its stand? Depending on the amount of portability you want, you could attach it to the table so you don't have to pack the stand around also. I don't know if you have enough room on the forge table but a bracket might give you the room. Looks like a solid project and very usable as it stands.

Donnie Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 The hood is a section of 12" pipe. It's what was in the pile at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
