Leaf blower forge

[indian george]

Someone was talking about use a electric leaf blower. Just wondering if it worked out. I was thinking (scary) a gas leaf blower forge. This way you could use it anywhere.

I used a leaf blower on my charcoal forge till I got a squirrel cage blower.

Hot fire. Tended to melt steel. Lots of popping from the charcoal, and burns on my arms too. I like the squirrel cage blower a LOT better.

I would have a gate valve to control the air flow.
