Lenaghan Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hi everyone, haven't posted in a while and just finnished a new forge so i thought I'd share. My old forge was made outta fire brick with 2 burners and it didn't seem to work that well, took a while to heat up and never seemed to get really hot so i figured why not make a new one, I got the idea of don Fogg's site. it's made outta a old trucks propane tank, 12 in wide and 13 high, with 3 in of Fiberfrax Insulating Blanket 2300 on the sides and 2 in on the top and bottom. ITC 100 covering the insides. 2x3 in opening on each side. I have a 3/4 burner in there now but could switch up to a one inch if I needed to. When I first fired it up I couldn't believe how fast it got to heat, and seems run hotter at 5 psi then my old one did running at 15 psi with both burners!!! plus I was seeing how hot I could get it and managed to make my first forge weld, It wasn't pretty but it was solid and i didn't have flux! so right now i couldn't be happier, and if everything goes good i could be getting my first real anvil in a week. anyways here's the pics...
