FieryFurnace Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I don't have much time, but here is my pity story too. I was moving my forge on the 20-foot trailer, and it fell off of the back. It broke my blower bracket clean off.:mad: I wired it back on because my dad's welder is in storage. I won't be able to re-weld it until he builds a new shop and installs a welder outlet...at least a year from now most likely.

skunkriv Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Would have to see it but maybe you can lay the blower on the ground or on a bucket, hook it up with a temporary pipe and braze the bracket in the forge. Then again, wire works too :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don A Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I got a Canady Otto blower off Ebay. The housing was cracked where the blower joins the base. Everyone recommended having it brazed by a professional, but I needed it quick. I cleaned the break real good, glued it with J.B. Weld and clamped it up for 24 hours. That happened last summer and it is still holding. That JB is some powerful stuff. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseRidge Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 JB Weld is good to about 800 degrees so, depending on the location of the break, it should work.... Are there any machine shops in the area? Might find one that would zap it together for you..... just a thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
