SwampFox Rocketry Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Here's my 1st forge build after buying a welder and feeling creative. The builds off scraps and low buget in mind. Using burners from my other forge on this one as well. Steal was scavenged from trash people were throwing out and stuff I had left over in the metal pile. But was a fun process thus far learning and creating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMike Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 She looks killer swamp fox. very steam punk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 My concern would be the narrow footprint on the legs. Have you checked for it tipping over with the line hooked up? Could easily extend the feet out a little to at least the width of the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampFox Rocketry Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Thanks MotoMike i agree with the steam punk look. Irondragon forge and clay you are correct in the narrow legs. While sitting with door closed its very stable door open leans it wants to lean over slightly. Yes I agree extending legs will help too thanks for your thoughts guys and recommendations.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I like the looks and you could stay with the steam punk look by welding on horse shoes to the feet extending them to the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I think it deserves better feet than horse shoes. Something Hobbitish maybe? That is a cool forge, can't wait to see her dressed for work. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey98118 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 The forge's burner does not look finished. If you follow the directions for this kind of burner is Forges 101 it will run much hotter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeke Zabo Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Nice. A curly tail and ears make it steam pork.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
