I Forge Iron

Quench tub

Shopping at the local industrial junkyard, I picked up a 30 gallon stainless steel barrel, and a ten gallon s.s. can, almost as big in diameter. I drilled a bunch of holes in the can, attached a bail, and it sleeps in the bottom of the quench tub. Now when I forge a bunch of rivets or whatever, I just drop them in, and when I'm done, lift the can out. I made the bail extra long so I don't have to stick my hand into the water. On the side of the quench tub, I welded on a rack to hold the few tongs I am using at that time.
