Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Started on our charcoal side draft forge. We plan to use lump charcoal in it. Not that we need another forge, but it will go with our 2 bottom blast coal forges and 1 propane forge we built. For knife making charcoal is hard to beat and Debi is getting really good at making knives. Put on the legs, yep made out of rebar. Then added a rim and pipe to hold the tuyere. That Champion 140 blower puts out a lot of air, won't need to crank it hard. The plan is to clay the dish with raku clay (we have about 80 pounds on hand), just have to decide on the shape of the fire pot, trench or bowl. Of course paint it green to match the blower. Hooked up the Champion 140 blower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I would be tempted to go with a trench, as much less than 24” it’s hard to keep the fuel on the table when you place and remove stock from the fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
