SGreene Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Finally got started building my first forge. I had an old deer feeder laying around so I repurposed the bucket from the top (wanted a bigger container on it anyways). The particulars are a 2" layer of 2400# kaowool with a 1" working layer to be coated with ITC-100 and 2 Jay Hayes Burners. Jay is a great guy he talked with me for over an hour about forge building and smithing. A couple of questions, what kind of door should be used for the front or just should I just use soft fire brick? Does the back need an open hole for aspiration?

VaughnT Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Soft fire bricks make a great modular door for the front and back. You can get fancy if you like, but a stack of bricks is great. Having a hole in the back of the forge isn't necessary for aspiration as much as it is for passing long stock through so you can heat the middle. Great build, hoss.
