Phil Patrick Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Attached are a few pics of my new hood I am making for my forge. It measures 36"x36"x9ish deep. I have built it in five pieces all oxy/actl welded together. I did the blanking and forming at my job. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted T Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Phil, Nice! How about posting more photos when you are done. I would like to get some ideas for building a hood over my gas forge. Than You. Be safe! Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Patrick Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 The material is 18GA (0.048") mild steel. I will have more pictures this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Patrick Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Here are the pics of the hood finished. It measured out 36" square by about 12 deep. It is made form 18ga mild steel. I put a hem along the bottom edged to stiffen it up. I plan to hang it from chains along the top corners. The flue hole is 6" in dia. If I find I need a larger one I will simply cut it out larger. Any questions or comments are as usual welcomed. If anyone would like my drawings of the pieces in the flat with bending lines, just ask. I have to admit, I did the blanking and bending at work on the equipment there, but they are not so complicated that anyone can do it.
