Backyard Blacksmith Shop and Brake Drum Forge
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2024
- Simply my shop setup, and a very brief explanation of how I made my brake drum forge using a dump truck brake drum. I didn't film the construction of it because most of the time I didn't know what I was gonna do next. It works surprisingly well so I hope you get some ideas from my blood sweat and tears! It was super cheap to make.

Holy shit! A 200 lb peter wright for 100 bucks. Awesome! Cool shop. Really rustic. Great job!
Thats an awesome little shop setup. Love that you scrounge for things. I do the same as well and I also barter like you. Honestly it feels like the best way to do things. Everyone gets something of more value in the end.
Hands down the coolest primitive blacksmith workshop I've seen to date
I really like it! Hopefully I will be able to get started making a place for my grandson, son n law, and me to start building a forge shop at my home. They are finally moving home after 14 years. Getting stuff a little bit at a time. Like what you did! Hammer away! Semper Fi brother! 8 yrs for me. Vietnam years and Beyond 73 to 81.
Man I been watching videos all morning to figure out a way to make a stand for my brake drum. I love how you did yours and being a plumber I have a grate just like yours that I saved out of a old commercial kitchen that was on a troth drain. Now I'm heading to the shop. Thanks brother!!!!
Chris, You have done a really great job setting up your shop and have a really good vision for how to improvise "junk" into workable equipment. It's that kind of innovative vision and good mechanical ability that makes a great craftsman. Looks like you're well on your way! Best regards.
thank you man. love the ideas. finding things. using old tool pouches. appreciate you sharing.
Absolutely awesome prediction. Thank you. I was able to get all the answers too every question I did have. Talken bout heck yeah man. Fort Worth Texas here, yeeyee
Like the work belt screwed to the stump. I have always been someone who uses what he finds for new things. Keep up the good work and Semper Fi.
You sir are an inspiration. Very efficient setup there with craftsmanship and an eye for detail at every glance. I bet you make nice things on that anvil as well.
Nice setup! has that old timey rustic blacksmith shop look and feel to it! a lot of farm forges long ago were often set up like this.
Hey great shop hope too have one half as cool ...please keep posting those great ideas thanks for sharing
Thanks so much for sharing your set-up. I am in the process of building my own forge and smelting space. And literally this gave me hundreds of ideas to make things easier and better. Thanks so much for posting. and keep posting.
Very nice set up. And thank you for your service.
Man that's a great setup you got there. You have an an knack for turning simple things to beautiful functional tools.
Great blacksmithing retreat.
perfect setup.. I, too, have been patiently collecting things and built a forge out of my Brinkman Smoker...small and primitive yet functional.
Really Great set up, thanks for sharing.
Well your workspace is nice and tidy and it has a good feel about it, you remind me of what I like to do and what I like doing.
GREAT smithy, Chris -- love it. You have a good eye for old-timey design, like the rough cedar posts, all the old-school barrels and so forth. I feel like I'm on that fourth grade field trip to the old iron works. Post more vids! You're a natural.
Great workspace
Nice set up!!! I'm just starting my forge build and you have answered several of my questions as well as given me some good ideas. Many thanks!!Bob R, Maryland
This is now my goal for a smithy, awesome everything, sad you don’t post more videos
Hey Chris, a tip for welding cast iron is using a high nickel rod or wire. Awesome build, I've also found if you wait the universe will often drop things in your lap..lol.
I got tons of ideas from your really great set-up !! Thanks,much.
The fact that you've got that much garden space gives you so many options! The setups really 'antique' - like you've tried to make something that looks like it's been there for ages - it does! Well done son
I really like your setup! I was hoping to see the blueprint of your forge, but I can probably figure it out if I rale the time and draw it out.
Very nice has the right feeling.
thanks for sharing this video
I was going to make a forge like that now I got more ideas
Nice setup. Keeps me motivated to keep looking for those deals.
That's awesome!! I would love to get into this and have a sweet set-up like that but I don't have that kind of creativity!
looks good, I'm thinking about setting up a little bit like yours I have not been able to get involved cuz I live in apartment complex and they will have a conniption fit over it
Your shop is very cool ..I love it
So greatful space to blacksmith, have you update something to your shop??
I love that set up!
Great setup mines a work still in progress
That is the simplest most efficient shop ever. Also where did you get all your tools and such?
Peter Wright anvil for $100??? Shit dude!!
+Jeff James ya and he said it was like 200lbs that is ridiculous.
Yeah and the old dude who sold it to me was a jerk haha. I asked him how much he wanted and he says all sarcastic “well I ain’t giving it away I want a hundred bucks period!”
I said Ok man.
That picture of the forge. Where can i get it?
Great video. And I can see your neatness and organization Marine. I can use a lot of your ideas, thanks for sharing them.Semper FIHap Smith Jr. 2112 8530U.S. Marine Corps (retired)p.s. Just found a Buffalo Forge Blower for $100.00 free shipping.
i had a buddy show me your blueprint ona blacksmith discord so i went off that and got a forge made up of course it's nothing close to yours but i got it to what i needed. also the blueprint said something on the side that said missouri. just wondering if you were around here
Yeah I’m south of St Louis kinda
I really really like your forge setup everything on it makes sense. I was wondering if you could send me a copy of the sketch up in decent quality so i can look at it. I accept all responsibility for the building and use of the forge and you will not be liable in any way. I just want to use a lot of your ideas but, have some of my own to possibly improve it. I am a diesel mechanic and I work for international so guess what i am using :p. I would really like the plans and any advice especially on cutting that drum cause i am thinking im going to have to get a diamond cutting disk. You can message me on g+ hope, to hear from you.
be carful with those deep drums off 2 tons they are normally to deep and you have to make a lot coke burn to to do small pieces and go to deep to do big pieces
It’s actually painfully simple man I never made a blueprint but several rough sketches on scraps of paper that got stuffed in my sweaty pockets while I was working my other job haha.
Here is idea for blower. Use a dryer motor and blower wheel assembly. Preppers, if motor bother you then take it off and I'm sure a hand crank can be rigged. There must be a few hundred free dryers on craigslist to get and disassemble to get these parts. Hook to forge with metal dryer vent tube.
Regulate it somehow or you’ll have way too much air. It’ll create a hollow fire.

did you just say the pine stumps a re "super hard wood"????? because, you know, pine is soft...not hard..right?
Pretty sure he said pecan. As in a pecan tree
Pecan. I was surprised at how hard it was I can smack it with a hammer and it’s like a wooden anvil haha
