George N. M. Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 The picture is kind of unclear but from what I can see it loos like an old wood stove for cooking, what we call in the US a "range." If that is the case, probably not. You would do better with a JABOD ("just a box of dirt"). You'd put way too much effort into trying to convert the stove to something usable for heating metal to forging temperature. "By hammer and hand all arts do stand."

pnut Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Sell it. Some people will pay decent money for a wood burning cookstove. Pnut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natkova Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Well here it's worth only in scrapmetal like 5 dollars. I used some part of it for my forge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnut Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 That definitely makes a difference. In the mobile format your location doesn't show up under your avatar like when using the PC version so I wasn't sure where you were located. If you can fabricate a box out of any of the pieces you can make a forge. George mentioned a jabod. They're the easiest and cheapest forges to build. A box, a pipe, some dirt, and something to push air through the pipe and you have a forge. Here's another version of a jabod. I think this is the type of jabod I prefer after building both. https://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/55467-mark-iii-jabod-forge/ Pnut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
