blackleafforge Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Im looking for a small hand cranked travel forge to use in demos, the only commercially available model being produce in Europe seems to be the BECMA travel forge: http://www.oezwerk.de/epages/62230868.sf/sec5c36dca2ba/?ObjectPath=/Shops/62230868/Products/%22FR70.M%20mono%22 Has anyone tried them? I also just saw this amazing looking second had one on eBay: ebay link removed Old functioning portable forges seem to come up very rarely and the cost of the German forge is making me look for alternatives but I am not sure about their functionality and reliability.

the iron dwarf Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 not so portable but a few minutes ago I added a sulver hand cranked one to a certain site, it also has a 110v blower on it and is unused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forging Carver Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 The first one looks like one I seen that was at a historical village to model what was used on theLewis and Clark expedition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicon Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 My forge from Angele. Expensive but well made and reliable. I would always prefer Angele forges to Oezwerk. They are bit flimsy. Willy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackleafforge Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Thanks Wicon, I hadn't come across the Angele version. I wish I had bought it the last time I was in Germany as the shipping cost is huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
