ianinsa Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I like the look of your shop, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredW Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 shop looks great, I live in north Missouri and trying to remember where Adrian is at. Heard of it but can't remember. The flue still needs to be that high, i believe. Just to prevent smoke backing up into shop on windy days. Looks a bit warm out yet so when starting the fire the smoke will be bad until the flue gets warm enough to draw good. It should get better when the weather gets colder. I like the hood and dropping the front would make it harder to see, though don't know how tall you are in comparison to the forge. Cold hinge a piece on the hood to fold out of the way but I am not convince that would do any good with the draw as there is a lot of area in front of the forge. You might have to close off alot more than you think to do any good. Could also put a ventilation fan in the wall as well. That would take care of the smoke problem.

Drewed Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Preheat the flue. Ball up some paper loosely and light it. For that matter, you could roll up a piece and light one nd and hold the other and stick it dang near up the chimney. I have to do that with my fireplace in my house. Get the air moving in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaughnT Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Hoss, that is one seriously good-looking forge! I liked it before, but the new arch front is dead sexy! It looks like it could have been there for a hundred years. Are you going to pinstripe it again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matto Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Love the forge, pinstripes add so a lot of class. I also like the pinstriped arrow on the top of the blower for best air flow direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clif Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 PugMan, Great shop! This is the first time I've viewed this section. I've been putting off starting on my as I could not visualize a comfortable lay out forge. After seeing yours develope I can now see mine. Fortunately, I have the basic building to start with, a pile of cinderblock and brick, free steel from work and enough tools to get it all going. I like your forge hood. Mind if I borrow the idea? Thanks for all the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pug}{maN Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 That's why I put it on here to spark ideas! The Forge design is not good for long stock. I will be putting a small door in the back to poke my work through might think about that in your design. Maybe place the forge in the center of the building for you can work all the way around?

Grizzer Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I've greatly enjoyed seeing your shop come together, and you inspired me to share my build as well. I love the pinstriping! I think it adds the right old-timey touch to your forge. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I've enjoyed watching the journey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FieryFurnace Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 That's why I put it on here to spark ideas! The Forge design is not good for long stock. I will be putting a small door in the back to poke my work through might think about that in your design. Maybe place the forge in the center of the building for you can work all the way around? I work with a wall-side forge using a side draught hofi-style hood. It works good, no complaints! If I had the floorplan to do it though, I would put a center-mounted forge. With a wall mount the stock needs to go into the forge parallel to the wall that the forge is against. That way you can get long stock in. The problem with this is, you only have a 90 degree working range around the forge. Draw a ling out parallel with the working side of the forge, and parallel with the wall that the forge is against. That's your 90-degree work-space. With a center mounted forge, you have a 180 degree work space. Draw that same line parallel with the working side of the forge. There's your working area. So with a center mounted forge you have twice the work space, before you have to start walking around the forge to get to the power hammer. Right now, I've got to walk around my post vise to get to my striking anvil. I've got to walk around the left side of my anvil to get to my air hammer. I've got to walk around the right side of my anvil to get to my tools. It works, yes! But, the opportunities for work space are increased with a center mounted forge. The only advantage I see to a wall mount forge is you don't have to cut a hole in the roof, because you can do a hofi-style hood straight out the wall.
