JHCC Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 For most work, I'm guessing that that's too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey98118 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Well he has good taste in tools; now if he only had a brain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in Oly, WA Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Why did he pour flux on it at the 9:03 mark? Cast iron anvil. Noob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Anvil moving around in use; scratches left on the blade, poorly mounted handle, yes you too can pay several times more for fuel than you really need to to make a poor example of a item and then post it on youtube as a "good idea"!

Daswulf Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Haha. Yeah, I guess he just wanted to flux it. I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou L Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 One has to give him some credit. He clearly did his homework on constructing a forge. There appears to have been some informed decisions made with insulation and using chokes for his burners. And, his channel does appear to be about being “extreme” in his builds. I would say his propane bill will be extreme..so, well done! My main complaint is this: It seems like everyone who has the spare cash for a mig welder gets delusions of grandeur and posts videos of his amazing welding. The video would have been very different if he was stick welding. We was dropping welds mindlessly like my seven year old with a bottle of craft glue. Being a guy with only a junky stick welder...this annoys me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 He managed to get clear pics of the arc flash almost every time. Oh. . . wow. Need I say anything? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in Oly, WA Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 You're right Lou. We should give him some credit. He did what looks to be a fairly solid build of a forge. Just got caught up in the "bigger is better" thinking (but his whole "tube" channel seems to be dedicated to that). I've been guilty of that once or twice . Just hope people looking to build a forge don't only see this video before starting and end up with a monster gas guzzler they don't need.

blacksmith-450 Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 A guy posted that on a local FB group. He asked for advice... I'm speechless... How tell him something positive about his built ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I can't think of any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksmith-450 Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 that's was I think.... but i hurt the feelings of the kid when I said that isn't (maybe) an efficient forge.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I would commend him for NOT wanting to make knives or swords as that forge so clearly is designed only for working on large sections like for major gates or sculptures. Inquire about how large a power hammer he has for working such sizes.... I would also praise his commitment to the craft as that forge will take hundreds if not thousands of dollars of propane extra as compared to a typical forge (build instructions at Wayne Coe's webpages.) I might also mention that he didn't show the photo of the insulation needed to make a forge work and did he use one or two inch? If he says he wants to make swords point out that historically swords were forge in forges with a hot spot less than a foot long and heating more than you can work in one go results in DAMAGE to the sword through grain growth. scale losses and decarburization... If his feelings are hurt by the truth just wait till he sells something to a customer and it breaks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksmith-450 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 I began to explain to him and he flushes his post... Another desperate cause that wants likes more than real advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlblohm Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Why doesn't anyone ever use anything to seal the wool lining. Or is it some of that magic wool that hardens and seals itself like a masterfabpro forge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 My wife doesn't like my Endocrinologist as his "bedside manner" is a bit harsh. I like him for that---trying to keep me alive in spite of myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
