Building a Fancy Gas Forge with Doors! 

One more little tip if you're interested. When setting up and fitting your pieces together. Fit them corner to corner. It leaves a perfect corner joint for downhand welding on that gauge material. It will create a nice strong weld between both piece of material, and put you in a position to be able to use either a flapper disc or a sanding disc to round your corners nice and smooth without any loss to the integrity of the build. Just nice clean, finished corner joints.

For forming your roof portion. If you had a couple of pieces of pipe, you could set them up next to one another, as close or as far apart as deemed fit. Then place your sheet metal on top of the pipe and strike down, allowing you to round them slightly better. Or just lay it across a larger piece of pipe, with a bigger diameter and form the roof around that. Don't get me wrong, i am not critiquing your build in the slightest. You did a fantastic job, truly. I have been welding and fabricating for 20+ years now, and I still get really I spread when seeing guys like you get out there and create something amazing from an idea. Keep up the great work, and keep posting. I've been tempted to create videos on RU-vid for some time, just unsure where to start. Official "new" subscriber. 👍

You make such ridiculously neat shit omg

Man my wife would decapitate my head if I turned her kitchen into a knife shop!! Way to go! 😜

Spray the ceramic wool with a rigidizer next time.. usually comes in a spray bottle, a blue colored liquid. You soak the ceramic wool, the blue dye in the liquid helps to determine how much you have covered. A good dousing of that, then let it stand for a while. After it has stood for a while and permeated the wool. Use a torch, a tiger torch works well, but others I'm sure will do the job. Use a small flame. Then the wool will be nice and hard (or rigid as th3 name implies). No loose fibers. Then spread on the refractory cement

Nice shape for a pizza oven, thanks for the idea.

Forge looks great btw!

Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up

Very cool m'lord!! I'm taking the bare minimum with me, to the Quadstate Quadsquad gathering, to build an on-the-fly dirtbox forge. Hope it turns out, to function, as well as yours. ⚒️⚒️👍😀

Blacksmith from the Uk here m8 wales to be exact just watched your log splitter press build subscribing great videos !!

Discworld reference ...priceless !

Man, I've brought piles of tools for cold working metal to Pennsic before, but never a forge! Intense. :)

Hi Bennett. Just came across your channel. Great stuff. You can make yourself a sheet metal brake using angle and hinges. It will chuck in on your vise, and it will bend sheet quite well, and accurately.

find some old bed frames and use them as angle iron. wire coat hangers as welding rods.

That sheet metal curving of the roof arch was admittedly painful to watch haha. Hopefully you've figured out the better way to do that by now but if not... I have life changing blacksmith intelligence to drop on you.

brb commissioning my very own Luggage Forge :DD

Have you thought of making a ribbon burner forge?

Pops up on screen... Suggested video "how to fix a mallet" lol

If you'd like a roughly 4v3', 1-1/8" thick, clean cold rolled steel plate for a welding table, I have a few extra. If you want one I'd send it to you free if you pay the shipping. Not sure how much that would cost but if you're interested I'll check the accurate weight and dimensions.

I'm a dead man, I haven't put on my refractory cement yet. Good bye cruel world, and to hell with The Great Reset!

Watch any forge building video... None of them have a cutting torch!

Alsoooo PLEASE make it into the luggage

Intriguing design. Though a bit fiddly it seemed to work out in the end. No disrespect intended, necessity being mother, fiddly being the process, your invention seems to be born and functioning. Now to the nurturing into the blossoms you desire. Lolololol 🙏blessings your way sirSir Crawford out 🧙‍♂️

I'm busy making my first forge. Very similar to yours. I'd love to know your reasoning for adding the hinge/latches?

If the next video is this forge being turned into The Luggage, I'm unsubscribing. Maybe Ok, not unsubscribing, but I will be disappointed.
