Hey guys, I need to build another forge. My last forge worked pretty well but it could have benefited from better torch placement, a rear opening, and more robust to stand up to flux, etc. In this new build I was thinking of making the heating chamber be a 4" x 0.25" wall of square tubing about 12" - 16" long. I would then place this into the middle of a piece of 10.75" pipe and affix it there with the end caps. I would place a single forced air torch on one end in a manner to procude the most siwrl and even heat and place a exhaust on the other end to vent the hot air. Insulating as best as possible ofcourse. I guess it would look like a salt pot forge basically, but horizontal and no salt medium, just air. What do yall think about this? Would the radiant/convection heat be enough for simple forging and heat treating or do I need to be able to get the metal into direct contact with the flame. I would not be doing any time of forge welding at this time, just basic simple high carbon steel forging.
