BlacksmithAWC Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Hi Guys, I am pleased to have found a useful forum, i am an apprentice trained blacksmith since leaving school and been under the heavy hammers, in and out of the trade all my life (now 51) and have just been messing with building a forge, i have so far come up with this one which i have found to be totally ok for my needs, it runs off a 240volt air bed compressor.

Viking Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 It looks good! Welcome to IFI. Would you mind sharing how you built your forge and maybe a few more pics if possible. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Welcome aboard Andy, glad to have you. Nice looking little forge, burning coke doesn't require near the smoke control burning coal does. I'm not familiar with the type compressor you refer to. Most of us this side of the pond use a rotary vane blower for air blast rather than a compressor but the difference may just be terminology, not kind. Frosty The Lucky.
