ANGRYANVIL Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I've started my coal forge build. So far I've completed the fire pot. The base metal is 1/2in but I did add some angle to add some depth that is 1/4 in. As soon as I get my welder fixed I'll add more to the build. Stay tune.

arkie Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Check out posts by DSW. He built his firepot and forge. His firepot was also made of thick metal like yours. His build was interesting and informative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGRYANVIL Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Thanks. I will check it out. I've got an old oil tank from my grandfather's house I'll be mounting everything in. It will definitely be portable how I've drawn everything out. Just need to find a good deal and some funds for the hand crank blower and some other items to get it rolling around. I should start cutting out more tomorrow if I can get off work in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireInTheForge02 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Are you going to add in a clinker breaker? Btw awesome firepot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSW Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 His clinker breaker is shown in the lower left hand picture. It works a lot like a sink pop up. As I said over on WW, good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGRYANVIL Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Put some temporary legs on tonight so I can start cutting the future forge body. Eventually this will be trailer mounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGRYANVIL Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Had about an hour in the cold tonight to work on the table for the forge. Wish it was done so I could have some heat from it. Table measures 3 ft x 27 in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGRYANVIL Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Still cut in the rough , this is the general shop of the forge so far. The bottom edges will fold into the plate holding the fire pot. That will stiffen the side walls and some angle iron under the plate to support it from the bottom there will also be a divider wall to separate the forge from the storage area. A few other things I will get to as time goes by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
