Erik Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I just purchased this forge pot, however the sides are not in equal height where it meets the table. Any pictures of a similar one so I can build a proper table that not only works well but looks good too. thanks..Erik view is looking down at the side of the forge pot......

Stash Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 No pix, but it's pretty simple to do. Cut a hole in some sheet- 10 ga or whatever you'll use for the table, so that the pot drops in and the lips on the left and right are holding it in place. They will be above the table. Then just weld on a few pieces of angle underneath to close up the ends. Eezy-peezy. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian.pierson Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 take a look here and around the site: it looks like a centaur forge pot or the buffalo it was modeled after. They use the upper lip to hang the pot in the forge bed but you need angle iron to seal up the end. You can also cut a smaller hole in the bed and have the pot sit on the lower lips.

101 H-B Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Here's how I mounted a similar firepot on a side draft forge using 1/2 and full height firebrick within a metal top/tray, could also be done on a metal base. Drawings included, wish you success! Edited September 6, 2015 by 101 H-B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
