Blacksmithing - Building a simple DIY forge

very nice! would like to know what the pipe was made out of

Wenn man mir etwas sagen möchte, muss man mir keine Rätselhaften Werbungen schicken.
Mir schreiben, oder mich anrufen. So ist das heute.

Simple , efficace et ingénieux !!👍👍

Many thanks for making this video. I wanted to construct a Viking era table sand forge, but could not find a decent schematic. This is basically what you have constructed, so now I can see how to make one myself.
Great work, thank you again.

Goog job!

I'm assuming that vacuum cleaner had a blow feature and you weren't sucking? What's coke by the way?

All hail tubal caine

That's really cool... I was worried about it being in a wooden box.. great work. 😊

Дурне діло, не хитре.😊😊.

GRACIAS GRACIAS GRACIAS

i just built myself a similar forge like this. currently i forge with charcoal and this is ... okay i guess. But i wonder where i can get coke in Sweden in smaller quantities? (since it is just a hobby). appreciate your videos.

Very instructive

This is a great Inspiration! But, please dont use natural Stones, they could contain water and if they heated, the water will expand and the stone can explode! Very dangerous!

Pretty cool! I know you only need a few things to start blacksmithing but that is some neat improvising. I might try that.

Awesome idea..😊

Is that just coal, or charcoal or what?

Молодец 👍💋

Nice work.

Snyggt jobbat. Bra diy projekt. Ska testa till våren.

By far the best simple forge I’ve seen yet.

Thank you ..👍

I have a question for a book I'm writing

My main character is in a survival situation, and he knows how to smelt iron. But he has no metal tools up to this point.

Could he use a stone as a makeshift hammer to forge iron tools?

PRODUCTION

All that hauling of all that stuff? For that small of an item…..

Interesting idea. Thanks

Great job. I like this set up!

Refractory brick (fire brick) would be best. I welded Rocket Stove, lined it wth refractory brick. It gets hot enough inside to melt steel. The brick is holding up very well after 5 years.

I want to build a simple forge and this video is the perfect primer. It contains all the basic information and answers all my questions. Thanks!

Getcha yourself an old car brake drum for a fire pot….it is heavy gage metal

Thank you for this, for the longest time I was wondering how to build a gas forge, however this seems Just as effective and significantly cheaper too,

Just make sure what ever blower you are using can take the long term use

Ha! I love it. I did the same when I was a kid, though I did it just directly in the ground! Vacuum cleaner and all!

In the same vein as not using concrete blocks, anyone looking to try this should not use porous river rocks. They too have a tendency to kaboom when heated to high temperatures. Normal bricks work fine but fire bricks are worth the light investment even if you are strapped for cash and using a method similar to this one. Experiment, have fun, and be safe!

Man, thank you a thousand, I haven't made my forge yet, but I was going to make it out of bricks and earth, or with some cement. Thank you very much for warning us that concrete blocks explode.

El mejor video ...sin cháchara, sin ruidos musicales, solo realidad de poder hacer forja con elementos fáciles de conseguir...excelente por la funcionalidad...gracias maestro...

Si se mezcla ladrillo triturado con cemento....mas agua , por supuesto...se logran unos buenos ladrillos refractarios....que aguantan hasta mas de 800°C ...espero aportar ....gracias

It's great that it can be assembled and disassembled. Does it work with no problems so far? Any information about the box size and what machine the green blower you use is?
Thank you.

Using a hairdryer in place of a vacuum cleaner works, too.

but what if you have to heat up a part higher up on the rod?

what type of metal for the pipe would work best

So what type of metal would work best for the pipe?

I build it it worked fine thanks.

Secrets of the forge, revealed! Thank you for sharing your experience with the world.

I love this video but can someone explain to me how the wooden box doesn’t catch fire?

I like this too because you can build it longer if you wish. Thanks for the idea

what firebricks do i use? are they all the same? help!

Thank you for not speaking. Its annoying when someone explains the process going on.

Muh new BBQ!

What’s the measurements of the side boards sir width and length

i made my self a viking style forge with 2 bellows, its aktualy impresive how well it heats, when i need to cheat i use a blower 12v from a old volvo 140 i had laying on the shelf
