Another forge up and running, very nice! I wouldn't mind seeing the repair of the blower, I've never seen the inside of one before. Keep up the good work!

I'll do a quick video on it. Turns out the fan was missing a blade so I'm cutting out a new one and brazing it on.

Thanks. The burning shoe video was just published if you were looking for that.

Not sure why there's so many rude comments, not like this is a wood working channel. It looks good for what it is, and it's perfectly functional. I wonder if the youtube "woodworking" community would like it better if you had live edge wood and copious amounts of resin...

I've got 10 of them with students using them every weekend, and the frames have presented 0 problems in the 8 years we've used the design. People just like to point out flaws. As you noted, it's not a woodworking channel. Thanks for the comment.

Another great video. Quick question, you mentioned the leg length, but you didn't mention the table top dimensions or the plate thickness that you're using.

I'll add that to the description. It was 30x40 and 1/4 inch thick plate.

What was the approximate total cost in materials?

@WatersIronworks

Жыл бұрын

Probably 100-150 for the steel plate and angle iron. Another $50-$75 for wood. And the fire pot which is the most expensive is like $350.

Is this in Austin, TX?

Shoddy planning, measuring, cutting. Don't need to bolt the forge down, just wait for the grit!? Come on, if it's worth doing, it's worth doing RIGHT.

I wouldn’t let you build me anything. That forge looks like the three stooges built it.
