Testing new forge

Featured Replies

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 :)

Looks like a fine forge, well done. Fancy don't heat steel. ;)

Frosty The Lucky.

Nice forge, and nice fisher(?) anvil!

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). 

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. 

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!

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.
