norrin_radd Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) This may look like a rehash video but I had some one ask about how my airflow worked on my forge. So I cleaned it out, took the clinker breaker out and did a short vid of how I made it and how the dimmer works with my blower. I had made a video of my forge before but it was more of an overview of the chimney. And it was full of coal so you couldn't see it that well. This should explain the clinker breaker better.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbUTulBeLxMI was going to include some footage of making split crosses since it was Easter. But after the feasting I was in a semi comatose state, I was doing good to be able to work the volume on the remote.The guy that had asked about it has a video of his forge that looks pretty nice, custom damper and everything.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbUTulBeLxM Edited April 6, 2015 by norrin_radd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus Blargostadt Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I recognize the ambient noise. You just got peeps!

norrin_radd Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Just to be clear that second video of the brake drum forge is not mine. I do not have that kind of skill and don't want any confusion. I don't know if he is on here but I thought it was worth sharing.But, I don't think I could handle those birds for very long. ;) Edited April 7, 2015 by norrin_radd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus Blargostadt Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 That is one nice forge. Makes me wish I knew a welder, or knew how to weld. I wonder how much a shop would charge to make that table and hood setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norrin_radd Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 That is one nice forge. Makes me wish I knew a welder, or knew how to weld. I wonder how much a shop would charge to make that table and hood setup.It is pretty nice. I don't know how much they would charge but I bet it would be pricey, plus materials. You could probably contact that dude through his youtube and he might have a better idea. Might be better off investing in a used or small welder and see if that's something you want to do. But then I guess there is a lot more to it than just the welding, you have to have a way to cut your material etc.. so it depends on how deep you want to get into it or what you already have. Its definitely not a quick or cheap proposition either.I've been looking at one of those 120v welders I've seen at Harbor Freight and on Ebay for a little while now, the ones at HB are about $110 just to have one of my own to learn on. Luckily I do have access to a welding machine and a welder, my welds look like bird crap and hold about as well. I have been tinkering with some brazing though, that seems funner to me.Good luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
