keykeeper Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Make a nice size for a demo forge setup. Wonder how much they will cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 2" sounds a little shallow but I'm mostly a gasser guy. My coal forge is a duck's nest set up so my opinion means not a lot. It looks really nice, I like it. How's it work? How close to the foundry do you live, or should I ask how closely connected are you? Did you make your own pattern, mold, etc.? From my experience one offs or anything are really spendy. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nett Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 How did you cut the threads into the cast iron for the 2" nipple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stelling58 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 When its cast, the round block you see at the bottom is solid, i had a machine shop thread it for a 2 1/2in pipe as you can see in the picture. And on the top they machined a 1/2 in down for my grate. I had to make it myself which isn't hard. I am closely connected because my grandfather owns the foundry that i work in and we make parts for them. I made my own pattern out of a, old nautral gas regulator that i found.
