July 7, 20187 yr Well I finally built my first forge. The outside is made out of some stainless I had laying around. The inside is insulated with 2" of inswool with 1/2" of kastolite 30. I have an interior area of 4" tall x 7" wide x 11" deep. I'm using a simple forced air burner. I fired it up for the first time last night and today I'll be coating the inside with ITC-100.
July 7, 20187 yr Nice job! Make sure to really cover the kaowool, without something like ITC or Satanite your lungs are gonna have a bad time breathing in fiberglass dust.

I read about the dangers of inswool so I made sure to wear a respirator when I fired it. Today it's getting a coating of ITC.
