ThomasPowers Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 The Triumphal Arch! Where's the front door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Is that soft fire brick or (?). That's gotta be one of the cooler 1st. forges I've seen in a long time. Thomas is right I expect to see some decorative wrought hardware for the door. I forget, why is it we're calling you brickman again? Frosty The Lucky.

Frosty Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Kaowool board is already rigidized. What it could really use to extend it's life is a 1/2" of hard water set refractory and a good kiln wash. Cool what you learn asking questions, once again I get a good example of what an assumption is worth. You aren't a mason. Cool Brian. Good thing I didn't hang myself with something I might regret on the assumption eh? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stockmaker Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Wow Brickman, I was surprised to see your forge, very similar to mine. You did a good job on it. Did you buy your kaowool bricks off craigslist, I did, bought one case. I suggest you do as Frosty recommends, Get some Kast O Lite it provides a little insulation and protects the blocks, as you know they are very soft. Mine also turned black in the flame, was not expecting that. A couple pictures of my build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks ike there are some assumptions as to me building this, i did not in fact build this, i only etched out some of the kaowool blocks which i got from a friend i know who actually lives up by you it looks like.. This is just my new to me forge i will be modifying a bit :P. I didnt want to jump in and build my own quite yet, i traded him for a coal forge i already had.
