New forge: Some assembly required

happycat · Mar 18, 2006

Finally got almost all the parts together. I've ordered the blower from Suprlus supply, I'll be using the gas line and fittings from ,my old forge for now. With any luck tomorrow I'll be able to put it all together and maybe test it out with a hairdryer.......Can't wait! Been gathering parts for 6 months now....I'm using IG's plans. I'll let you know how it goes....

Looks like it'll be a good forge. Is it going to be a stand up or a lay down model ?

Do I have a cool wife or what??

Actually, I stole her laptop so I could access IG's forge tutorial (from Ron's website...Thanks Ron!). So she had to come out to use it. She gets pretty focused when when working on that thing, but I figured accident'y setting her on fire would be a bad move.

Thus the leather bib draped over her back.....

And now, the Almost finished forge!! (just don't look too closely at those welds

) Just got to put the wool and satanite and bricks and kitty litter in there and I'm ready to go..... Hopefully it'll be ready when my blower gets here....
I also figured out that you want your head (and thus your HAIR) ABOVE the project when you're welding

and it only took setting myself on fire twice this time to figure out that little gem of information........Hey I'm improving! Last time it took three times......
