Dano83 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Nothing special, made out of some angle iron I found in the woods behind the house. Rigged it up with a power vent off a furnace. Still a brake rotor forge. Might be adding a pvc valve to restrict some air flow, im assuming a light dimmer switch won't work on a power vent like this. Made a couple fishing rod holders for cat fishin with the little bit of coal I had left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Looks like a fine forge, well done. Fancy don't heat steel. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Ling Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Nice forge, and nice fisher(?) anvil! Littleblacksmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Sawicki Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Nice, looks better than my first 2 forges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano83 Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 I honestly don't know what kind of anvil it is. I got it for free from a co worker and it's better than pounding on a chunk of RR track (was making me deaf). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 That's a nice looking free anvil! If the motor has the tag on it you could try looking it up and see if it will work with a dimmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Sure don't look like bleach jugs though....y'all must cat fish differently... Isn't it a great feeling when you realize that *steel* is a plastic material and *you* can manipulate it to suit yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano83 Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 We cant use trot lines here in NY, we just use raw chicken livers with a slip sinker set up, seems to do pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
