Just so everyone knows, that's an air to air boot ment to connect turbo boost tubes to intercoolers on diesel trucks. They are use to 30 to 50 psi at a couple hundred degrees. They can easily take the heat and pressure of a hair dryer.

Great idea for a forge! I am going to copy your idea with much thanks, but I am going to ad another brake drum with a hinge on top. so that I can add a little more coal, and also have a lid on it to increase the heat if needed. The top cove will have a cutout so that I can have longer items in the forge. Once again, thank you for the great idea. It just so happens there is a heavy truck garage down the road, maybe they will have a few spare old drums.

Thanks for the idea Jim.

I think everybody starts with a hairdryer for their first low-buck forge. I still have one that looks like it was in a housefire from my first, and it still blows air mostly out the front! Since moving up to a 'high bypass' leaf blower (😎) that can scream more air in for crucible days, my only problem is finding good diameter stainless steel that won't melt! Oddly enough, charcoal chimney-style starters are a lot more durable than you'd think for that purpose, or I lucked out and the factory that day was running Inconel, ha! Yes, your coupler is silicone and will handle ~800F, though as you said, as long as air is passing through and around it, you'd have to worry about the welds melting down first long before your heat ever gets way down there! Junkyard Forge works every time.

Kevin what a great forge project. 👍

Good project, I made my forge out of an old camping gas bottle, I cut it in half length way's and inverted one half into the other and seam welded them together, but not before cutting a hole for the hair dryer, then drilled holes along the length of the furnace bottom for air flow from the dryer, works brilliantly. All the best to you. Paul.

​@@elijahbates9643 You're ego and lack of knowledge is showing. Please tuck all that back in.

I used the outer 16" rim ring from a cube van dually truck. The portion the tire would mount to unbolts and is then the perfect size for the coals. I remember the first times I started to weld. My teacher said "when your getting a good weld it should sound just like your frying up some good greasy bacon". That is a good reference when learning to weld imo. You'll squeeze a few more cfm using hairdriers if you disable the heating coil, since the colder the air becomes the more dense it becomes, its obvious that equals a hotter forge. That's merely nit picking ISPO. But if you can use a touch more of cfm it helps to get it there. Thanks for the upload blacksmith I always find some tips that are useful.
