matt993fod Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I have finally got around to setting up my forge, but the only place I have for a shop is a small chicken shed. It is fairly open to fresh air, but is crampt, so I will be working close to the forge. It is too short for me to use a chimney. Basically, does it sound like I'm going to gas myself?

steveh Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 i wouldnt even think of forging indoors without a chimney.when i use propane because my shop is small i put it outside .my anvil is close to my double doors so its convenient and i dont overheat.

habu68 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Why take the risk. Get a Nighthawk CO gas detector with a digital read out and KNOW if you are gassing your self.KIDDE 900-0113 Nighthawk Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detector & Explosive Gas Alarm AC Plug-in Operated Model KN-COEG-3 Just remember you are only dead once. sorry personal peeve.

Glenn Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 If it is that small a space, move outside. In bad weather put up a shelter, such as a shed roof or plastic tarp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mills Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Why bother? Working in a cramped environment is frustrating. Use it to store or remodel to adapt it. I had to truck my stuff out to the driveway for years cause a coal forge inside a garage gets smokier than a bar on Saturday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
