Excellent posting! I live in the United Kingdom and I don't think my neighbours would appreciate me burning coal in a forge let alone me hammering metal on a Sunday morning but I sure would love to be able to mess about with something like this, if I only had some land, lol. I sure do envy folks who have a plot of land enabling the. To do what they want without nosy neighbours or irritating government messing with you !

Great as always. I threw together a forge that I used to make my last knife with from just my wife's hairdryer, a few blocks & bricks like you mentioned, and a GALVANIZED pipe. I LIVED! Yay! I used to weld galvanized steel 12 hours a day and I lived. Yeah its not exactly vitamin C, but dang people, man up and shut up. Quit the negative criticism and learn something. Sometimes, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

Hi Dave I made a common man forge with a tin bucket (like the number 8 you got the other day), an old cast iron frying pan with holes drilled in the bottom and then a pipe with a hairdryer. under 20 bucks if i remember. the pan went on the bucket then a hole in the side of the bucket was for the pipe and the hairdryer. Worked fine but got alot of complaints from next door so i had to pack it in. love the series brother be well.

Good. At east you are aware of the danger. I agree about using it if it is all you can get. I have used it in these situations myself, but I usually heat it before use to burn it off prior to use. I wasn't trying to be negative. I just want people aware of the dangers involved. Keep the videos coming!

Great video Dave,keep them up. I made a brake drum forge a couple of years ago. I used a stove pipe as my stand and plumbing. All i did was, drill a hole in the side with a hole saw drill bit half way up the pipe to match the hair dryer, hammer the weight from the drum to let it sit flush against the stove pipe. Cover the hole with grating like you did. Just push the pipe into the ground to steady it up and off you go. Still working great. Another common man way, and food for thought.

most brake drum forges use 2 inch black steel pipes with two small pipes and a longer one, a tee a flange and an end cap. you will also need a brake drum and something to keep coal out of the pipe. shower grate are commonly used

Awesome stuff, Dave. Awesome stuff. You could change that small coal-guard thing you placed over the hole with a broader plate with drilled holes all over it. Keep it slightly elevated and the air should spread out before being pressed into the coal. That way you could put the entire forge to use, enabling you to work with larger metal even on that small forge.

Just a tip, but when drilling through thick metal put a small pool of oil where you are drilling and add oil from time to time to keep everything cool, saves alot of wear and tear on your bit and gives you a cleaner hole..

Those old brake drums work good for a forge.I cut slots down the side of mine .That allows me to put longer stock on it.I guess it all depends on what a person is going to be making.I like the idea of useing the chunck of antenna tower for the stand makes the forge totally portable.
