brianstucker Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I've been working on my forge. I am using materials I have had laying around for years. It is 48" x 30". Only thing I am buying is a hand crank blower and a fire pot. I've got to work on my legs next. I have to find some material for that.

Rmartin2 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Looks like it's going to be a nice one. Where are you getting the fire pot and blower? Keep us updated on the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstucker Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 I ordered a hand crank blower off eBay. And a firepot at pass forge. I think both of them together I will have 250$ in. I will post some more pics when I get farther. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ling Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 You may want to cut some holes in the side of the forge so that you can insert longer stock easier. Littleblacksmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleblacksmith When I get my firepot put in I'm gonna cut them out. I have a set of 10" wheels I'm gonna put on it. Turn it into a cart I can move around.

brianstucker Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Worked some more today. Here's the progress. It's turned into the 1 ton forge. Cut all the metal with 4 1/2 " cutoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmartin2 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Looking good. I cut everything with a 4 1/2" grinder and the occasional recipricating saw. There have been a couple of times I wished for a torch, but I have made it work so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstucker Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Here's the progress. I have to mount my blower. I'm probably gonna mount it on the top left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
