yves Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The smithy being small the forge table is small. So when I had longer bars than 2 feet or so, I had to hold them while they were heating. No more. This is simple and efficient. A view from the side : Here is a series of dimensions. The first one depends on the opening in the side of your table. The other dimensions are the ones I use. Here is a general view. It stores neatly on the side of my chimney : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfootnampa Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Yours is a bit different than mine but I made a similar attatchment for my forge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBrassaw Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 That's a great idea! I made the stock stand from the blueprints section: ( http://www.iforgeiron.com/page/index.html/_/blueprints/original-series/bp0007-stock-stand ) since I had all the materials on hand. I'm working on a second one with three legs forge-welded on, just for the practice. Oddly, I've only used the stand at the anvil and vise, I still hold my long pieces in the fire. Sometime I miss the forest for the trees. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Hammers Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yves, good use of stock and function for your support. Jeremy reminds me of a polish coffee cup i once saw with the handle inside. Where there is a will there is a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefarm39 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Nice solution to the problem of support! My forge has two "ears" on the side with holes in them that receive a bar bent very similiar to how you did yours. It pivots in the holes, and there is a leg that is attached to the center portion of the bar and goes down to the floor. This set-up allows me to adjust the height of the support or to fold it out of the way when it is not needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
