billp Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Will after long time of thought and debate I finly did it and put a fire pot in my rivet table forge. Now it may not be a pretty as several I have seen on here but I do think it will do the trick. I want get my supply of coal in till sometime next week so will have to wait till then to see just how well it does work. But I made a pot just about like it I put in my big forge a few weeks ago and it works really great. The only difference is this one is a bit smaller and it does not have a clinker breaker. I just did not have enough room, but if it looks like I will realy need one I'll go back and redo it. Take a look and see what you think. billp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksnagel Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 It may not be as pretty as others you've seen, but once you get a nice hot fire in there and coal piled around they all look the same. Good job! Mark <>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewed Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 You won't need a clinker breaker, you will just have to dig the out from the top. Not a problem at all as none of my forges have a clinker breaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Hammers Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I used this forge for several years. Looks like a litter mate to yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billp Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Thanks guys No, I worked without a clinker breaker before in my home forge till I replaced that fire pot. So working without one again is no big deal. I took the grate off the table I had to buy to replace one that was missing when I bought it. I modified it to fit in the bottom of this pot so that should work for now. Besides I will only be using this for demos and things like that. I have one next weekend at a friends farm where there will be, we hope, over 500 Boy and Girl Scouts. We will be showing how things were done way back in the day. I'll be making a fire pit set up for my friend so he can hang a pot or two over the fire when he has get to gathers. I don't think I'll ever try a hood on my forge but I do like yours Ten Hammers and yes it does look a little like yours. Oh and Mark I like the <>< beside your name I'm with you on that. billp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
