My New Forge and Forging Setup
Having completed the inside space of the new workshop, it was time to set up the new forge and table in the outisde space for my new forging setup. I built a new table, included a shou sugi ban element with tulip wood, and created space for my propane tank, I also checked it all works with a test fire of the forge and some basic forging. Also, I fell off my mountain bike in Swinley Forest

What a sharp setup.
... the purpose of the extra layer of refectory cement is because as that type of insulation heats up fibers can come off and you will breath those fibers in which is really really really bad lol. Ridgdizer will help a bit with that but no where near as much as a proper coating. You can actually see some of the fibers coming off when you first turn it on and those are only the big visible ones the finer stuff is like dust, unless you are always wearing a respirator coat your insulation for your long-term health

thank you so much for the info - I'll sort this out. The forge is run outdoors at all times, which i hope will reduce the effect somewhat, but i recognize it is still an issue. thank you for your feedback.

True about the fibres, you’ll see it shrink over time, my home made gas forge eventually I lined with a rigid refractory which does take longer to warm up but I know is safer. I now have a coke forge which I feel has more heat control but can burn the metal if you don’t concentrate. Nice video an I hope you are still enjoying it. All the best from Thirsk,North Yorkshire.
This is super cool, good job!
Interesting, thx for upload 👍 Cheers from Poland 🍻

How's it going now???
Where did you get forge?
Is the gas forge still going well and, if so, who is the fellow that supplied it?
Not to be that guy, but you're going to want to use refractory. The fibers in the blanket are very bad for your lungs. Just my 2 cents.
I need the link to the forge
Hello! I am probably not the first person to make a comment on refractory cement. But I will give you my advice anyway. You really need to add some layers of high temp refractory cement. I personnally recoment to use "SATANITE". But it can be any other good high temp refractory cement. Without it, the inside of your forge will be very fragile, and you inevitably poke the wool with some metal. You could also breathe some fibers which are really nasty even if your forge is outside. The layers of refractory cement will make your forge way more durable when poking the inside. More importantly, when forge welding, the flux eats up eat the ceramic fibers very quickly so you will you will have to replace the ceramic wool soon enough if no cement has been applied. The cement also helps a lot keeping the temperature of the forge. You will save money on the propane in the long run as well. Thanks for sharing! Your shop is wonderful! I like it very much! Nice job! And good day to you sir!
