Thread: new forge

I finally finished my new forge. I downsized a little bit from my last forge. The new forge heats up quickly and runs smooth. It is a 6 inch pipe with ceramic wool and clay on the inside.

That looks nice!
So, you made this your self? Well, I shouldn't be surprised at what you can do with a bit of steel and some time

So now we will be presented with even more beautiful Custom razors?
with this being so fast and all?

I see you added a handle. That means you can take your forge on-the-go and heat treat on location :-)
Great work Charlie. Always love to see you tinker.

Simple, neat and efficient, the sign of a great design. It makes me soo envious, if only I had some space to put one up. Can't wait to see what comes out of it.

I wish I could say the design were mine. The forge is really me following other peoples work and making the best out of the materials and tools I have on hand. I am happy that people both in person and on the internet are so willing to share information.

I joined a local blacksmith group, I put the handle on so I could carry it with me to some of the meets. There are some talented blacksmith artist that I would like to learn from. Watching those guys hammer and move metal is humbling.

Great looking build!

Awesome Charlie ! Like the simplicity & efficiency in all your stuff

Sublime work Charlie. Your talent never ceases to either impress me or make me feel spectacularly inferior.

I wanna be like Charlie!

PM sent on the forge...Would like to make one like this. Could I talk you into a tutorial on how you made yours & where you obtained your wool & mud?
