My greatest video of all time
frugaloffgrid.com/blogs/fruga...
I've wanted to set up a forge on my off grid homestead for a few years now. I have been watching them evolve the past couple years. My new Vevor two burner forge is designed a lot better than it's predecessors. In this video I'll show you how I set it up and explain what's different.

Too cool...I had no idea that the forge was so inexpensive, even frugal..lol

@FrugalOffGrid Год назад

Yea, I thought they would be more expensive as well. I have a lot of projects I work on but this is one that might become an enjoyable hobby.

That's AWESOME Man! I paid for half my property pounding out knives 👍 Get yourself the book Country Blacksmith that's how I taught myself 🤠

@FrugalOffGrid Год назад

Thanks, I'm looking forward to learning a new skill.

@deecooper1567 Год назад

Start small & grow 😂. Curious about future plans 🤔. 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

Nice to see it longform aswell, great job for a self-proclaimed newbie! Definitely get a solid base for your finished anvil (like a nice big, heavy stump), it helps not to dissipate the force while hammering, saving you about half the blows. You will truly achieve maximum frugality if you start making latches, locks, ties and even nails from basically trash metals.

@FrugalOffGrid Год назад

I have some railroad ties. I'll probably build a table with some and put steel over it for the forge and vice. I'm tempted to set up in a bay of my agricultural shed.

@deaconmma3048 Год назад

awesome forge & congrats to Lori

@FrugalOffGrid Год назад

Thanks Deacon!

@937mike Год назад

I'm very impressed with the forge! I also think the anvil is going to be pretty cool as well. As a side note, in college one summer I worked in a brick factory that made refractory brick. I learned a lot, including the fact I didn't want to work in a brick factory.

@FrugalOffGrid Год назад

It's a good thing there are guys that like to do plumbing and brick work. 🤠

@dummieall3150 Год назад

That looks like smooth set mortar. I got sold a pallet of it in place of Kao kast. Because they called it cement. When I was first learning refractories they didn’t have these kits on eBay and Amazon yet.

@FrugalOffGrid Год назад

It simply says it's refractory cement. On the package and in the manual. That's about all I know about that. Lol

@dummieall3150 Год назад

@@FrugalOffGrid it is perfect for your purpose. One of its intended purposes But it cracks on a regular basis when used as kiln cement surface coating for ifb or blanket. And has to be repaired. My kiln has to have a fresh coat almost every firing it cracks along the brick lines. It did not work for my purpose of forming a monolithic concrete body for a oil fired furnace. But I got shut down by the city of Mesa that I can’t have a enclosed flame in anything but industrial zoning. They don’t care if I have a ton of molten steel as long as I did not melt it with fire. That I have to use electricity. The city is also the electric and gas company… I’m waiting on graphite bricks from China to make the lining for a 300# steel capacity electric arc furnace.

It's an excellent forge, I've made a few pattern welded knives in mine so far. The only complaint is the male threads to the burner manifold are half inch while most standard hoses have a 3/8" female fitting.

@robincolonna1191 Год назад

Hey John we watch your videos been watching for about 2 years now. We appreciate what you do with your homestead. Were from north Arizona in Apache county. Snow has been crazy this season.

@FrugalOffGrid Год назад

Love the snow.

@alexberry3804 Год назад

Cool idea, good video.

@FrugalOffGrid Год назад

Appreciate it Alex

@CivilianDan Год назад

Very neat. Didn't know it could be that affordable.

@FrugalOffGrid Год назад

Wait until you see my work area. I haven't spent a penny on it.

@sgt0079 Год назад

You're so awesomely motivated!! I've always talked about making my own butter knife, but never actually done it! 😅😅Great job so far! 😊😊

@FrugalOffGrid Год назад

It's one of my greatest accomplishments

@Hossman78 Год назад

I been wanting to get a little forge. And play around making knives. Great content bud

@FrugalOffGrid Год назад

Do it!

@Lochlee Год назад

Looks great! Lots of fun in the future with that :)

@xalonetv6399 Год назад

That's was actually pretty cool for a frugal forge and you only heated that up twice and forged it that much you could make a ton of things for the homestead out of that rebar alone. Awesome video! Can't wait to see the next one.

@xalonetv6399 Год назад

And that thumbnail tho! I'd say your editing and algorithum skills are getting honed as well.

@FrugalOffGrid Год назад

Thanks Brian, I think it's going to come in handy. It's wild how you can seemingly do everything right and get few views and sometimes get a ton.

@xalonetv6399 Год назад

Well I personally thinj your new thumbnails look awesome!

@raymondarabaal1926 6 месяцев назад

Can you connect one of those brass gas valve directly to gas hose, instead of this steel two hole pipe?

@manuelg9367 Год назад

A lil old wood stove could work too ay? Although propane does burn hotter

@FrugalOffGrid Год назад

Definitely, it costs a little more to do it old school but it's a good back up option

@TracieRollins Год назад

Forge a sword ⚔️

@FrugalOffGrid Год назад

A butter sword?

@MountainRancher Год назад

Frugal tattoos?? You don’t need ink to fit in brother.

@FrugalOffGrid Год назад

Fit in with who? I'm not looking to make friends. They are in fact frugal. I did most of them myself by the time I was 17. They're about 23 years old.
