Timmy Charles Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I've been having issues with my hand crank forge. The strap keeps breaking and wasting my time fixing. i started looking for an alternative by using electric power. I turned my shop vac into a blower. I filmed a video of the build and you can check it out here. I just need to pipe it to the forge now which should be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Shop vacs are generally quite noisy and overpowered for a forge; finding a quieter fan with output more tailored to you use will probably be a good thing in the future. I have used my shop vac when I was box folding 3/8" plate in a trench forge and needed a 2-3' long hot zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
