Original thickness of Champion 400 Whirlwind Firepot


Recommended Posts

When I got started Blacksmithing, before even acquiring an anvil, I bought a champion 400 whirlwind firepot and blower - and I think I may finally be putting them in retirement, some 112 years after their production. 

My firepot has gotten extremely thin and cracked over the years, due to rust and use. I would like to know what the thickness of a firepot should be, at least originally.
