I have no idea why anyone would down vote this video. It is probably the best propane forge build by a beginner that I have seen on youtube. You clearly did some research on the subject before you started. For forging small, more or less straight parts up to as much as 5/8" square, this should work very well and for larger things you can always run it with the door open. On forges that are kept in a shop it is often more versatile if you forgo a front door altogether and instead stack fire brick up, leaving the smallest possible opening for whatever item you are forging. You can easily adjust the width and height of the opening by moving the bricks around or using things like 1" spacers to raise the opening height a little bit. A buddy of mine made his door of two vertical light weight (insulating) fire brick that slide to the left and right in a track. I just stack brick up, myself. You will also find it quite useful to incorporate a sliding stock support into your design. On your railroad track I hope you won't take offense if I tell you that generally speaking, they make very poor anvils...at least when used in the orientation that you seem inclined towards. I'd like to suggest that you consider studying the ABANA page covering adapting RR track and crane track for use as an anvil. www.anvilfire.com/21centbs/anvils/making/RR-rail_anvils.php The issue is that the web between the working surface and the base is far too thin and has too little mass to allow efficient forging. It flexes, absorbing some of the energy of your blows and robbing your hammer strikes of a fair amount of energy. RR track is more effectively used place on end. Check out that page. Generally speaking, a damn decent job. This is coming from someone with roughly 25 years as a hobby smith and after having built or rebuilt about six propane forges. At some point you should also try out a coal/coke forge, either by building one or by trying out someone else's. I forged only with propane for my first 20 years but acquired a coal forge about 5 years ago and now I rarely use my propane forges. I find coal or coke much better suited for the small hand forged items I make.

+ Scott Rich Thanks for the wonderful comment, with you having 25 years in smithing and experience building forges I take it as sincere compliment that you liked the forge I made :) I had no experience at ever making one, and did watch many videos on YTube of people who made theirs, some with great success and others who had problems. I watched the problem videos more than the successes to learn what “not to do” and to learn from other’s mistakes. I had a clear idea on exactly how to go about making mine before I even broke out the angle grinder because I did do my research. I was essentially building the forge around the burner I had made for it previously. I saw a number of forges made with the firebrick doors…..decided against it so I wouldn’t have to mess with moving bricks around all the time even tho it IS a great option and I am sure works well. I just decided that wasn’t for me. I do have a stock holding “apparatus” I made for the forge that is adjustable and built into the forge. I should maybe do a follow up video on the forge since it is currently my most watched video. I can’t believe it almost has 15,000 views as of today (7/18/16), I never thought any of my vids would reach 1,000 views but lots of them seem to be well received on YTube for which I am happy :) I know RR Track is a poor choice and I actually spent a lot of time on the site you mentioned prior to making the forge. Thanks for putting that link, hopefully others will check it out as well. Not being overly rich I worked with what was in my budget so use RR Track for now. Would LOVE to have a real anvil, even attended a few auctions but they always went above what I could afford :( Anvils aren’t cheap, would die to have a “real one” LOL! Hopefully one day I can afford one. I did my best on building the forge so you saying a “damn decent job” makes me feel good about it. Regarding “thumbs down(s), had I been better at editing last year when the vid was put up I think I could have put on a much nicer presentation, but it is what it is. I do plan on make a coal forge as well, I can make my own charcoal as free oak is easy to get. Just need a 55 gal and a 30 gal drum and the wood. Coal or Coke isn’t easily found here in Florida, but is the better choice. Well again, thanks for the great comment and for watching the video, means a lot! :)

My brother made a cold forging anvil from RR trax (he didn't want to use his Peters anvils) and we bolted it to a heavy plate to take care of the lightweight issue we also used a 30" length. An example, I cold forged small feet for stair rail posts that were too small to put into the forge. We built a natural gas forge we could melt steel in. That's a foundry. That was scary at times. LOL Oh I should warn you to wear darkened shooter's glasses, the yellow ones. Reason is the light from a bright glowing yellow forge damages your eye sight in time. Just a heads up. My brother's shop is in CA and his web site is themetalguy.com. we did quite a bit of cold forging, we're both sheet metal guys, blacksmiths, coppersmiths and I'm an ultra precision TIG welder and have welded RR trax and believe you me it needs some serious preheat with that high carbon content, that's knife making steel.

Excellent job😊Have a beer my friend

I used a Lenox diamond hole saw. It worked well. Kept the handle on as well. I also have refractory cement to use along with the Kaowool and ridgidizer. I kept both of the square door plates and pop riveted them on with hinges so that I could close it up and carry it. I bought some two inch black steel pipe and cut it down to weld to the holes for the burners and drilled three holes in each for thumb screws. Also acquired a fairly heavy duty cart which I’m filling the top of with kiln bricks and four large mounting bolts sticking up through them to mount the forge to. Built my own double burners with an extra valve on the second so I can run only one when I don’t need two. I meant for mine to be more portable so that’s the reason for the differences. Also the way I’m building the cart I can always upgrade to a larger tank as mine is a little smaller than yours. Mine was certainly probably not the cheapest route although I’ve been buying all the components over the last year and a half. Good job though your forge looks good.

Just watched your video and I found it quite impressive. Now that you have had it for some time I am curious to hear how the material is holding up? Again, very nice work!
