Worshipdrummer Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I have a small Diamondback gas forge (knife maker) which I love but I realized not every project will fit in the small opening. I was working on a prototype digging tool for a friend who likes to metal detect. I got the piece rough shaped and it would no longer fit inside my forge because of it's shape. So to the drawing board I went. Taking material inspiration from Mr. Stevens latest clay forge I set out to make a washtub type forge. I balked when my local supply store wanted $32 for a washtub. I decided to follow Mr. Stevens and use wood for some of the construction mainly because I have a good friend who owns a sawmill and I also have Georgia Red Clay. I tested it out this weekend and it will surely heat steel. Thanks to Mr. Stevens for sharing his ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
