The pictures and description help a lot … man that’s old school :cool: Now I see I need to get busy and stop procrastinating on build that forge I’ve been talking about for the last 5 years. You seem to have this stuff dialed … выдающийсяQuote:

You guys with forges are a lot braver than I am! LOL That is great stuff. I love the way the end is pounded flat and made to look like a fan. The pictures are fantastic! :DQuote:

What gas do you use? How big a tank and how long can it fire or attached to heating system on the shop?
I have always wanted one, like a CNC cutter, etc. I have a mill, just not here since I have to get it here from where is sat and heavy.
I think they are saying you probably have a jig or homemade tool for doing the scroll work like you used and showed us in your bent square tubing when you built your welder cart. Very nice table.
Ruslan is a master of old school fabrication ... I was I had his skills.Quote:

Very nice. Is the blower motor variable in speed to get the right flow or just designed for the oven. And do you really need all those hammers :D I would kill for that anvil, but it must be a pain when you have to move your shop, talk about heavy metal..Quote:

That looks like it might be the speed control box on the end of the upper hammer rack. A mix of old and new tech. ;)
WOW! How awsome is that?Quote:

Its an old school art that only a few people are still doing. Very nice work !!!!!,
I will try and post a picture of a hand forged Pineapple made from square steel bar when i get back from Germany.

If you are using an AC blower motor you can use a light dimmer to control the speed of the blower. I do this on my aluminum furnace works very well. If your motor is a Cap start type you cannot use a dimmer on those.
Have fun

That's the plan for mine. Motor found, dimmer found. Just need a brake drum, pipe and coal.Quote:
