Robert Simmons Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I have been looking for plans, technical drawings or whatever I can get that would allow me to build a hand crank blower. I can cut parts in wood or wax and make casts for certain parts but what I cont have is a drawing or plan to tell me how to do it. Can anyone help me out here ? -- Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainely,Bob Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 If you look on the "followed me home" thread you may be able to get in on some aluminum cased hand crank blowers for about what you`d expect to pay for a set of plans.The word is it will fit in a large flat rate box so postage will be cheap. Once you get the real world example in your hands you can scale up or down from there. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grafvitnir Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I have posted these here somewhere. Here they go again http://www.fastonline.org/CD3WD_40/JF/JF_VE/SMALL/04-110.pdf In this you will find a bellows and a hand cranked blower. http://www.wkfinetools.com/mLibrary/mLibrary_index.asp Here you can download Hasluck's "Smith's Work"; in page 140 there ara plans for a blower, right after the plans for the bellows and forge. http://www.evenfallstudios.com/woodworks_library/woodworks_library.html#Blacksmithing,%20Welding%20and%20Metalwork Here you may download Richardson's "Practical Blacksmithing" Vol I and vol. II have plans for blowers. Pg. 162 in vol II and pg. 205 for vol. I. All legal download because of copyright and all that... Hope it helps Rubén Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 LIndsay publications used to have plans as I recall but it's been years since I saw a set. Frosty the Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grafvitnir Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Frosty, I think you mean this one: http://www.amazon.com/Design-Build-Centrifugal-1987-publication/dp/0917914600 I don´t know why it´s not listed at Lindsay's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's the one, I think anyway. It's written by David Gingery along with the other books shown on the page. I used to have a number of them and use the refractory treatment techniques he outlines for his metal melting furnace. It's good having lots of guys help you remember things. Frosty the Lucky.
