Ive seen a lot of forge arrays. From high-end, top-of-the-line, everything controlled by buttons and switches, down to a guy with a brake drum for a forge, a wooden box with some dowels and a few scrap pipes for a bellows and a railroad track for an anvil. Your setup seems to be my favorite so far, and i have no shame admitting its due in part to the "top hat" covering the chimney stack. I giggled like a child when then thing popped up

Cool video. I made a coal forge, then I tried to buy coal. Not sold in California USA. Then I made a propane forge, best move ever! I use forced induction burners I made myself and used fire bricks from Lowes. I still use the coal forge with charcoal for bigger pieces that do not fit in the propane forge. I like your air baffle for control, I used a tee inline and made and adjustable cap on one end to bypass air or close to use all air. Forge On!!

Very similar to mine. I had a hexagon-shaped piece of 3mm plate left over from a job and so used that for the forge bed base. It's about 28 inches across the corners and thus about 24" across the flats. I welded some pieces of 3mm plate as side 'cheeks' along four of the flats, to prevent the coal falling off the side. They're about 6 inches tall. The two remaining sides are positioned front and rear and left open. The front is where the work-piece is inserted and the rear is for long work that has to be fed through the fire and out the rear. I have made another piece that closes off this rear side if I don't need it open - for short work. In the centre is a cut out hole about 10" x 8" that accepts a firepot, also made from 10mm plate as your original. My up-draughting air tube is just 2" diameter however. The final tube is a stainless steel pipe with a threaded stainless pipe cap. The cap protrudes through the base of the firepot. My firepot is a little deeper than yours but the protruding cap makes up the difference. The pipe cap is of course drilled (5 holes) to allow the air blast. I have an almost identical ash dump, but no clinker-breaker. I clean it out thoroughly about once a month, down to vacuum-cleaner standard. Get rid of all the ash build up which does conveniently fall below the level of the air cap onto the firepot base. There isn't a blemish on the firepot istself. It's scoured like new steel almost. My fan is one of those used under a jacuzzi-type bathtub. I wired a 500W dimmer switch inline and use that to control the blast. There is an air gate as well. I find it very controllable. Hood and flue is overhead but no fan involved. I have very good draw on the flue so no need for a fan. I also start the main fire with a double handful of charcoal, although I use one scrunched-up piece of newspaper and a small pyramid of thin sticks to begin. We love our fires. Thanks for showing yours.

Hi Torbjorn, I noticed your air valve is a choke valve, consider converting it to a bypass valve. A choke valve constrains the airflow putting strain on your blower (that, being a burner blower, is designed to flow freely). A bypass valve vents unneeded air in the environment, so that the blower always blows freely, while just the desired airflow goes to the tuyere.

When I watched your latest video and saw the fire being sucked sideways into the side draw, I automatically assumed you had a extractor fan in the chimney to get such a powerful draw on your forge, but no - as I have seen in this video, it is natural = as you have such a powerful draw on your chimney, that is not easy observable with an open fire/a stove as the fire goes up. I live with my parents in a terraced Victorian house with 2 open fireplaces - master bedroom/lounge, and when there is a stormy wind blowing over the terrace (easterly/westerly wind) that the air is sucked up the chimneys causing a negative pressure in the house - that the wind is blown into the house through any holes/open windows/doors, especially through the ventilation fan in my bedroom, caused by the Venturi effect on the chimney pot. I assume you would have a similar effect if it was windy outside your workshop.
@torbjornahman

Yes, the key is a large straight pipe. Any bends will reduce the draft significantly

@torbjornahman
@torbjornahman 8 лет назад
Thanks. I like your forge videos very much. I have never tried side blast but you may have convinced me to try one out. As I mentioned before, they seem easier to maintain with coke. Only problem really is freezing temperatures... would you add antifreeze to the water?
@joshuadelisle
@joshuadelisle 8 лет назад
My bosch has frozen a few times in winter but fireing the forge up thored it out no problem. I guess if it is completely frozen you could use antifreeze however it is a corrosive solt soltion and so you would need to have the tue and the bosch be made from stainless steel so it doesn't corrode away. I'm making some 'Super Tue irons' that are made from stainless steel soon. I'll keep you posted on them, I have a video publishing soon making a forge out of a BBQ using one.

Thanks. Yes it's 12" galvanized duct pipe. There is no problem at all with my setup. The pipe does not get that hot... I can lay my hand on the pipe, say 2 feet up, during full blast and it wont hurt my hand. You need to heat galvanized above 900C for the zinc to vaporize.

I have some questions: How often do you have your air gate/valve all the way open? What is it normally set at? Do you close it when there is no metal heating up in the coals? Basically, I just want to know the specifics on how you use your air gate. Very enjoyable video, as always.
@torbjornahman
@torbjornahman 8 лет назад
Fully open hardly ever, but that depends on how powerful your blower is. I guess half open when heating. Never close it completely when idle, at least not with coke which needs a bit of air to stay lit.

I'm curious as I would like to mount the blower for my forge outside as well, how cold does it get where you are, I'm in eastern Canada and it can get as cold as -31C here I am wondering if you experience any issues in the winter at lower temperatures??
@torbjornahman
@torbjornahman 6 лет назад
OK! Well, I haven't experienced any problems yet... touch wood. We usually doesn't get that cold weather. Around -20C is considered quite bad here.

What is the material you use after the charcoal? it is mineral coal? And if it is, what can be used in case of lack of mineral coal? Thanks for the videos.

@torbjornahman 7 лет назад
I use coke here, which is processed coal. Just use charcoal! It's the cleanest fuel there is, but it burns fast so you need large volumes.

Hi, I am wanting to start forging/blacksmithing, so should I use a Coke forge or a propane forge? Thanks.

I have very little experience with gas forges. A gas forge is limited in space, but is easy to store and use in residential areas since it's small and don't require a chimney. With experience I think you will learn to appreciate the aspects of the different forges. In some areas coal is cheap. Look out and avoid the cheap gas forges with bare ceramic fiber blanket on the inside. It should be coated.

Hello from norway Torbjörn, i was wondering if you had any design/drawing or measurments for your self made fire pot ? im getting in to blacksmithing and my current fire pit/forge is way to big =P
@torbjornahman
@torbjornahman 7 лет назад
Cool. That one is about 250x175mm where the sloping sides start, and 50mm deep roughly.

I understand the charcoal part (my forge is charcoal) but what is the other substance? Whenever I have seen it in videos (including this one) I have assumed it is coal, but it looks more like blue metal? If it is not coal, could someone explain what it is and what it's role is? Thanks.
@torbjornahman
@torbjornahman 8 лет назад
Coke! Industrial coke made from coal in huge ovens, where most of the impurities like sulfur and other volatiles are burned off. What is left is more or less pure carbon. The process is similar to how wood is transformed to charcoal.

Hello master torbjörn, buy a coal according to the coke, but after a short time of work, it acquires a strange consistency and the clinker adheres to it. What could be the cause of this problem?

Fascinating to watch how other smiths start their forges and have them set up. I've hear that some smiths prefer fire pots that are deeper than the one you have; does yours have any limitations that you can think of off the top of your head?
@torbjornahman
@torbjornahman 8 лет назад
Not really. If you need a deeper fire you just stack fuel on top. Sure it could sometimes be nice to be able to get a longer heat, with a fire pot with multiple air holes in a row...
