AndrewOC Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Hi everyone. Made a forge this week, it is for a hand-crank 'Rapid' blower that I was given 17 years ago; finally got the bits and pieces together! See if you can recognise the forge pan. The other one is for a mate who helped and just to prove it blows enough air. Just have to line forge and paint. Also an extra foot under the blower, for stability, they are heavy. cheers, AndrewOC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notownkid Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Looks like a Wok to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksnagel Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Nice! I agree with the kid. Looks like a wok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Nice re-purposing. I wouldn't bother lining the forge. That stamped steel will last longer than you and already has a nice bowl shape to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOC Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Well spotted, a wok it is. I fished them out of a skip full of food-hall renovation stuff. Come to think of it all the forge , except blowers, are from skip-gleaning. I agree Vaughn, the next fire will be in damp coal fines to make coke and bring height up. thanks for looking, Andrew.

Farmweld Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Until the seasoning burns off you are always going to get the munchies from that forge. Mmmmmmmm Stir Fry, with garlic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
