Sabre Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 you would most likley need fire bricks and i would not recommend concrete...sometimes it will explode if heated...... you can try brake drum forge also....no concrete or bricks needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt87 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 What sort of work are you planning -- belt buckles or anchors or somewhere in between? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Browne Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 If you are just going to have a go then the brake drum forge would be a great starter. It can use either coal or charcoal. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
