KYBOY Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 We made Lisa a new demo forge this past week..Only thing left to do it attach the wheels.. Fold up handles so you can roll it like w wheelbarrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewayforge Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Is the stock rest made using friction to hold it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaughnT Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Good work. I have a table about that same size that I'm thinking about turning into a forge. The folding handles are a great bit of ingenuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkie Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I'm sure you have a wheel size in mind, I strongly recommend using wheels as large as you can. I have a forge very similar to yours that I have to wheel around on gravel. I started out with 6" diameter wheels...too darn small and drag heavily, but am soon changing to either 8" or 10" wheels. Don't use plastic wheels either; they will either wallow out or break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYBOY Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Is the stock rest made using friction to hold it up? Yes it does, I can take a pic of it if you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Coke Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Greetings Kyboy, Great job... I might suggest that you forget the wheels and weld some 3 or 4 inch round pads on the legs.. The unit looks light enough to move easily. What I have done in the past is to weld a bar across 2 legs so it can be moved easily with a 2 wheeled shop cart.. Most demos that I have done are in the dirt hence the pads... Keep up the super work... Forge on and make beautiful things Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'm gonna have to borrow the fold out handles idea. Nicely done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
