KRS Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I have looked here and there but I cant find much on that kind of pot. Is the design dead? I know you can still get parts, but all new forges I found are single-walled. The difference with double-walled is that the firepot has cooling fins that are cooled from the air blown in the forge: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I certainly have not seen anything like this in catalogs from the past 20 years. The pinnacle of commercial casting and blacksmithing around the world appears to have been from 1880 up to about 1930, when this page was printed. There is a heavy duty single wall Czech style still being made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it the day before Christmas last year really cheap so I could not pass. The double-walled firepot design was the first I have seen In one of my oldest books for metal-working before I even started, but since then I rarely have seen those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
