GRiley904 Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Forges are very simple in concept, really they're nothing more than a fire with air channeled into it. Read around the site some. I found this blueprint at the top of solid fuel forges under the forges section. Read the articles in the blueprint section. and the stickys are real good start. Quote
Daniel.85 Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Also google "brake drum forge" My first forge was an old steel wheel. Quote
