Not to toot my own horn but, to show that a forge can be made easily and simply. Here is one I made from a cooking wok. It's still going strong. What I like about it is the light weight. http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...ead.php?t=6973 I hope this helps.
Rebel,
Yours inspired mine! Great job!
I was looking a craigs list the other day in eastern KY and someone had 30 tons of coal for free!
We don't even know what coal is around here...
If I can settle down, I'll make a permanent forge like yours with a hood. I'd like a shop without electric devices. I've got a hand grinder. I'll have to find or make a bellows.Quote:

And I thought you just might want to dream a bit...

I think your right! Maybe, the folk who took the pic thought so too.Quote:

I pick the little giant....
By golly, I notice a couple of empty bottles to the right of the forge. You guys are probably right. He's sitting in that chair thinking about another bottle.
hes probaly got a long reach hand made of metal to do all his work from his easy chair and plus hes probaly got a foot pump run by his dog and solar panels just sayin
A forge that will suffice can be made from just about anything. I've made 2 so far. My first one was a hot water tank bottom. It had a hole in the bottom for the plumbing, so it quickly became a bottom blast forge. I haven't had a problem with ashes falling down the pipe either. That was fairly heavy, and wasn't easily moved, plus it used a lot of fuel. So i cut off the bottom of a steel bucket, and since I liked the bottom blast style i drilled a hole and inserted a steel pipe. I hooked up some heat resistant tubing up to my air matress blower upper, and lit the charcoal. Simple, a moveable forge for next to nothing.
Pictures man! We demand pictures!
