Steve Sells Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I salvaged a gas heater fan form Industrial units that mount in roof. 5 years still working well. the coupalo is 242x24 on indies built form salvaged louverd doors. even copper roof on it.

ausfire Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 When it's hot here (which is most of the time) I restrict myself to forging the lighter items. No heavy hammering or large fires. My smithy has no walls, and allows any breeze in. A bit of a compromise because it should be darker.I also knock off before lunch as afternoons are too hot. I'm usually a bit worn out by then anyway. Heat stress is a serious business though, and should not be taken lightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgeahead Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Very simple solution move to where I live! - 25 C today with a windchill of - 38C. I need heat!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I found the photos. Taken a few years ago, just after I finshed it. no walkway in these pics. On a side note now people can see why I can't have a power hammer, look how close my neighbors are. This shows the outside coupalo, as well as inside showing the underside of the roof with the fan mounting, I have a switch next to the lights for on/off operation. teh shop is 12.5 x 17.5ft the max code would allow here.
