Joel OF Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 A few weeks back I made this little forge & legs for my old hand cranked blower as I had a demo coming up, thought I'd share the pics. If I had more time I'd have made the blower legs folding but it was all done pretty quick & made with scrap that was at hand. The fire box is made from a chunk of RSJ, the legs were 20mm bar off a gate, (I forged and twisted them), the pipe was just stuff knocking about. There's some scrap angle iron in there too and some other bits of random junk, the only thing I bought was the flexi air pipe. Works really well, I've forge welded with it & looks kinda pretty for something made from stuff that was otherwise a trip hazard! I'm a very lucky boy that I work alongside a fabricator who has free scrap galore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel OF Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Not sure why the pics are rotated through 90 degrees... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaughnT Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Very nice work. I'm a big believer in adding interesting details to even the mundane tools, especially if it's something a customer might see. Shows the smith's imagination and ability in a way that a wall full of samples can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
