Homebrew Forge link?

May 10, 2008 5 Replies

Several years ago, I ran across [on another machine] a web site that had directions for building a forge from a used Freon container.



Does anyone still have that URL?



While I don't have a Freon bottle to play with, I *do* have a compressed- air carry-tank that doesn't want to hold pressure very long.



This one?

Here's another gas forge that you can build.

Take this link and click on the obvious 2 pages.

This design has been around for 15 or 20 years. It's not mine, but I have one. By using a separate blower, you can adjust the ratio of air to gas independently. This can be handy if you want to forge weld heavy pieces.

Check out the blueprints on iforgeiron.com

I know there are plans for solid fuel forges and may be some for gas. If not then ask in the forums.

Thanks, Glenn!

That's the one I was thinking of.

Thanks, Pete!

Between the two [VERY similar] designs, I hope to convert this leaky carry-tank into something useful.
