I've often thought that watching this KZread channel is like attending a free trade school, except here numerous trades are taught. I've never considered doing blacksmithing, I am now!!

Excellent comment. Funny how colleges pride themselves on teaching classes like "history" for a piece of paper, yet this is literally teaching us history as well and how to produce treasures and tools.

“Way to go man. You’ll never be sorry you learned the craft.” I seriously love this guy. Super well informed and explained on the topic.

Great design. I would like to see you make a propane burner from scratch with a parts list. That would be a good continuation of this video.

I am an electrician (read: amateur accidental welder), and I have recently jumped into metal working. Up to now, my forge has been a bunch of sand in my wheelbarrow with a pipe sticking in the bottom and my wife's hair dryer blowing into it. I am getting a little bit better, and I think the time has come to build myself a proper forge. In other words, I'm getting ready to build this one. Thank you for making this information so easy to absorb, and for helping keep the trades alive!

I feel like this guy is the grandpa the world needs. Just endless humble wisdom

For anyone building this, there is one piece missing from the cut list in the description - you need 5, not 4, 9" 2x2x1/8 angle lengths, and the 5th needs holes drilled 1" from either end. It's mentioned in the video, but not in the cut list. Also, having built one, I'm now disassembling to add a piece of all thread to connect the two 24" angle iron pieces at the fire brick end. I move mine a fair amount, and occasionally found the pieces could slide around a little with that end unsecured. Have to add, this is, in fact, as simple as it sounds to make. Great design, and using my local metal supplier, was able to build (with burner) for $140.

Thank you for making this video, because I've had this idea for month's but wasn't sure how to go about it. You are by far one of the best channels on KZread my friend, thank you.

Never had the privilege of a grandfather but if I did I'd hope he'd be just like this man. Seems like just an honest, self made and hardworking man. Respect.

That's a very nice build, I would love to see more of these simple-tools-builds!

Best home-made forge for my needs. Thank you, sir, for helping to keep this important craft alive.

Thank you for your commentary your easygoing voice and likeable personality keeps me watching keep up the good work

Simple, functional, and infinitely customizable. Brilliant! Thanks.

Think you give plenty of info to build it, you're giving me the concept and allowing me to work out how it will work with the materials I hope to accumulate once finished renovation on the house. Love your pace as ever and great content.

Absolutely just love this channel. Awesome content. My confidence in myself is steadily increasing. Thank you for all your insights.

I'm thinking about getting into smithing and have watched countless videos on the craft but this video is straight to the point with no messing around. Very helpful and informative. Thanks 🙂

You came up with a very, very nice design. Simplicity, as Leonardo said, is the ultimate sophistication. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the inspiration and guidance you give! I actually starting blacksmith apprenticeship next week on monday and something like this would be perfect to set up at home to start practicing metalworking on my free time! I've been a welder for 3 years and blacksmithing is the next adventure im heading out on ! Wish me luck and thank you again for everything! Already downloaded the tool list too!

I can't say thank you enough. Just re-starting the craft after 25 years, and I used your plan (albeit doubled for a lengthier forge) and I'm back at it.

He's like the father I never had. Good, clean instructions for any would-be son to follow. Bless you!!

Wow, your style, your methods, and your presentation is truely inspiring.

Another excellent video, as always. I really enjoy your teachings. You always break everything down to simple terms and actions. Thank you!

You’re a great man,you’ll open so many doors for future generation of blacksmithing.Good job and proud of you.

Excellent design and video! I really appreciate how in depth you got with the dimensions in the description. Excellent job again! Was definitely worth becoming a sub.

I really like the compact design, and the storage for the tools on the side is really clever!

This is a great little forge. You beat me to the punch. I’m putting out a brick forge build video this weekend as well. Great job as always.

Excellent video! I started the craft a number of years ago, working at a local smith's shop. I wound up having to stop and lost touch with him, but I've been itching to get back into it. This is a perfect little forge! And the design is easily adaptable if you need a little more space inside, as well. Wonderful video!

There are many videos on how to make a basic coal forge, but this is the best I see for a cheap starter gas forge. I just sent this video to my cousin and we are about to build a new workshop for my backyard as life has me staying in this house a few more years than I was expecting. This will be a great addition and I am done waiting on the right time to start blacksmithing. I started in metal trades as a teenager before moving to other types of construction. There is nothing better than forging metal and seeing that glowing weld. Now its back to basics for me and picking up where I left off 25 years ago. Thank you so much for this video and parts list.

This is awesome! I'm primarily a woodworker with tight space. Took some blacksmithing classes and love it. This forge is perfect for my situation. Thank you for taking the time to compile the tool list and make the forge video!

All this information you put out is just awesome. People like you make the world a better place. Thank you.

Great video Scott...… and as you so aptly put it 'that is once big obstacle down'! Thank you so much!

Just getting into construction/ carpentry right now in my life (I'm 26). The company I'm with is putting me and fellow workers through carpentry school. Never thought in my life that I'd work construction, but I've found that I love working with my hands and I love seeing the results of my work, as it is very rewarding! I would love to start blacksmithing as well, as I've always admired the craft and art of it. From what I take from your videos, it sounds like it's with reach of doing so! Just want to say how thankful and glad I am that I have found your channel. It's very encouraging and inspiring, not just on being a craftsman, but being a man. Wish I had a dad like you growing up! Time for me to be that kind of man to my soon to be kid! Thanks Scott!

I can always tell when a man knows his craft and skill...and You know...thank you for sharing your knowledge and sharing it in way that's easy to follow. I also appreciate your positivity! Thank you

thank you good sir for making this. its an amazing gift to have a simple no nonsense guide to get started on something. now i can jump in and just whatever i need as i go without over thinking things.

Thanks for this video. As a knife maker that has been heat treating in grill for the past year I think I am going to make this forge for heat treatments

Scott, you are so awesome. Thank you for this video. I’ve been wanted to do something like this for awhile now. Well, since I’ve been watching your videos, ( a few years now ). I will start collecting the parts and build this when I can. I’ll take some videos myself. 🙂

This video is inspiring. I was just going to make a foundry but been watching a lot of forge related videos and now want to build a furnace that I can use for both a forge and a foundry. This gives me a lot of good ideas as I lack both a quality welder and the skill to make something decent with the freebie HF one I have. One plus is I already have an anvil, name is too worn to identify but it is old and was my grandpas.

Really admire your approach to all your videos. Great to see your knowledge being shared.

Seeing videos like this, and other channels knife making videos has spurred me and made me realize how much I miss blacksmithing. I am determined now to finish my forge that I started building years ago, so soon I will be beating metal again!

This is serendipitously timed. I had just recently commented on your Facebook post about how I started blacksmithing when I was 12, shoeing horses at 17, and then I built myself a very similar (albeit heavier and longer) forced air forge when I was 21.

Thank you a lot, i was starting with blacksmithing a while ago but not having a forge has kept me from forging, this is going to help me a lot. Thanks, apreciate it!

Just used your design to build my first forge. It was easy and I'm very happy with the result. Thanks!

I really appreciate your content sir, you’re very knowledgeable and a true craftsman. Ingenious common sense methods that can only be passed down through life experience, making life so much easier. Thanks for being a KZreadr 👍

Nice forge, really neat! Nice and simple and quick to assemble. Always a pleasure to watch what you do.

Great and simple instructions. I look forward to trying this out. I wished you'd have been my shop teacher in high school. If your not a teacher you should be one. You have a great disposition for your trade and a great way of instructing. I look forward to your channel and the videos in your library. Thanks for a job well done.

Thanks for another great video . I never comment on them but have been wanting to thank you for the style you put into your works . The "can do attitude " in which you deliver the lessons of your trade is a welcoming environment to many of us . The confident self reliant air of an experienced craftsman teaching" the tricks of the trade " is assuring to the widely varied skill set of your viewers . I am also slipping up on 60 yrs. and have worked a wide scope of tasks , being a rancher calls for one to be handy at much , polished at few , but it is a part of being us . Thanks again , keep spreading the good .

I've been taking courses at Kilroy's Workshop in Colorado Springs, CO to learn. When I'm not in that shop, I'm standing in yours, eagerly watching and learning. Thank you for what you do for all of us.

Very simple and a great little forge. I will be building this with my grandson very soon. Thank You

A couple of years ago I built and have been playing with the forge that the King of Random made in one of his videos. It has served me well, but I can already see many advantages your forge offers that I just can't get out of a bucket of fire. I'll be building one of yours as soon as I can gather the materials. Thank you, sir.

I've been fascinated by black smithing for a long time, but the forge seemed like the big obstacle (aside from the space required). This forge makes it very easy to start and you can do it in the backyard. Thank you!

Lucky young guys who have access to such great resources, thank you for your efforts and sincere, informative videos.

i`ve seen many different styles of "barn built" forges, this is a great project for most of the heating i will need.. great job, and thank you for sharing! ...happy trails.....

You're incredibly inspiring, thank you sir. I have been slowly building my way up to blacksmithing for years now, I'm a Carpenter by trade but have also done a lot of welding along with other trades. This year i started wood turning and lathe work and now I'm ready for a look into blacksmithing. Thank you for the encouragement, I'm going to build one of those forges today, legend 👌

Machinist here trying to get into blacksmithing. Thank you sir for the great video.

Class act this fella. What an incredible tutorial. Thank you for taking the time man.

Coming from someone with machinist experience, this was an excellent video to watch, and only makes me want to get back into making things. I definitely have a continued interest in blacksmithing as well.

Thank you so much for this great idea for a simple starter forge. I'm already gathering materials to build one for myself.

Thank you for sharing this idea. I built one of these with the hearth and love it. Easy and inexpensive to build but works very well for heat treating my knives. I don't have an anvil to hammer on so I haven't tried forging or welding with it yet.

Wow Scott you guys are the best. Thanks for making this video and keep it up. This is a great way to show everyone how easy it is to get started

Excellently delivered video & tutorial. My son & I built this design. Was fun to make, easy. Now we are building our own burner - will be cookin' metal in no time ! Thanks for the video.

So simple (when expressed by a true pro.), thanks guys, love it!!

I learned something from you and in that reguard i thank you and wish you and your familly a long and prosperes life i will build this forge ,teaching is A holly thing and not everyone is blessed enough to get the opertunity to teach ,thanks .

I love all your videos but this one is my favorite to date. Thank you, guys!

Excellent video Scott ! I think you have just started a new wave of Smith's ! Way to go man !

Incredible video! I work in the steel fabrication industry and you would not believe how few younger people just don't get this stuff. I truly appreciate that you are teaching generations how to create with their hands and their minds. Kudos to you Sir!!

Fantastic video. Thanks so much for coming up with this design and for showing it to us. I'll definitely be using it.

Thanks Scott! Seems like no matter the topic, I always go to the next video feeling satisfied I’ve learned something!

I just finished making one of these a couple of weeks ago, it works very well, thanks for the design!!

I went the way of cutting up a propane tank and using the Kao wool (bad stuff to handle) and the sodium silicate and all that stuff. Wish I had seen your video first! What a much simpler uninvolved way to get the same, if not better, result. You are the man. Was this your own design. It is a quite elegant!!

This is the perfect motivation needed to learn something new. Thank you for the insight.

Love it. Been blacksmithing since I was 15. Looking to change from my coal forge to propane and this looks like a good one to make.

I saved this video, bought the materials a few months back, and TODAY I’m building it! So excited!

Thanks for the motivation video! I am going to do this!

i know this is an older video but i just found it. i been looking for a forge i can build with pretty much nothing to start getting into knife building. ive pretty much watched all of youtube looking for the best idea i could find to make mine and this is it, its perfect. thank you old man.

Great for many...I love having a welder and reconmends welding. Thanks Sir

When are you coming to Florida? I've been watching this channel since you were around 20k subscribers, you've made a pretty significant impact on my life and I'd love to thank you for doing so!

I really really admire the way of your presentation. Clear pace and clear information!

You're a brilliant teacher. I'm a beginner jeweler/metalsmith. blacksmithing is a little over the top for me now. I've tried it a little bit. Very fascinating for sure.

Thank you for posting this (and of course all your other videos). I've thoroughly enjoyed all your videos and other than waiting to move onto some land for a real workshop, I look forward to building a forge like this to start out. Cheers!

I like that you can create a small forge pretty quickly and cheaply. Great video, thanks! 😎⚒

This is excellent sir! Love the design. I recently made one of those burners for ~$21.00! Also an easy project.

amazing video!!!... I am about to get into blacksmithing and I'm going with this forge setup for sure! Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the craft!

Very interesting and complete guide to the forge. Awesome video!

That's a great little forge. I read an article in a country living magazine many. years ago (while waiting in the dental surgery) looking something very similar to your design and thought I should make one. Unfortunately on that occasion I was called in quickly and never got to finish reading the article. I am a woodworker and general tool tinkerer but occasionally have the need to do some metal working or heat treatments. I guess it could be left under a lean to roof to lessen the risk of woodshop fires. Many thanks, I think I'll build this little gem. Perfect.

Thank you so much for making this video a simple how to to get into an old craft

Bless you I've been looking for this for 4 yrs...

Thank you for your honesty thank you for posting this video thank you for laying it out in such a simple format.

Very nice forge. I do a little iron work myself now using my torch or wood stove as a heat source, but I think I may have to build that. Thanks. Tim

Very nice, I would love to see the next couple blacksmith videos done using this forge.

Awesome video sir, so much information for just a simple forge diy video. You go above and beyond. Keep em comin!

Awesome video sir. I myself am starting this hobby for knife making . Your videos are excellent . You explain things and demonstrate step by step. Keep it up. Hopefully I can get to your level one day.

That's a pretty slick little forge. And I really like the burner design

Great video sir. Thank you. Would live to see you do a burner build. I've built a couple over the years but, the ones I've made typically function less efficiently than the ones I've bought.

That's a good design. I liked the trick to use the nuts as spacers from the bricks.

This gentleman keeps it simple. I will follow him. In two minutes he showed me more than anyone showed me in years.

You are the first one I’ve seen on KZread that drills holes in metal the right way!! Must have been a machinist at one time. Great build as well.

This was a fantastic video! I started doing this a little over a year ago and have some stuff now this video could have made it a lot easier!!

You the man, thank you. Exactly what i was looking for (quick starting information mainly) and quite portable.

Love this guy... Keeps it simple and he knows a lot of stuff..

I like what you said at the end. Really pushed me to go out and get what I need.

I think I'm going to try this design for use in glass blowing. Thank you for your information!
