Buchan Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hello all, Had the first burn of my brake drum forge today, used lumpwood charcoal to get a good base going then added 50/50 mix of house coal and coke. The hand crank blower worked well and I got a good heat going. The thickest material was a 9/16th Allen key which I shaped into a punch, also made a hook to open the ash dump and a spoon for flux from old round stock that was lying aboot. Great couple of hours messing about! Is the left over coke re-useable or for the bin? Cheers Iain B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
