Coal Swab VS Dipper Can for Maintaining A Coal Forge Fire

- In this video we discuss using a coal swab versus a dipper can for maintaining a coal forge fire. The traditional dipper can serves it purpose, but runs the risk of cracking your fire pot if you pour to much water on your coal fire. As you are learning your coal forge basics, a coal swab is a much safer method for keeping your coal forge fire under control. After discussing the pros and cons of the dipper can and coal swab, I continue with forging of a coal swab which is one of the beginning blacksmith projects that are handy to forge. Other beginning blacksmith tools you will want to forge for your coal fire will be a coal rake, and maybe even a shovel!

Thank you everyone for the great comments! and thank you for watching.
God bless you all!!!
After whatching this I've made one and it's so much better than the can I used
Handy little tool. Watching you forge it i was thinking you were just going to forge loop and pull the rag through and knot it on the back side.
My fires are always huge. I designed my forge so I can have just a couple of inches of air, or air coming out the entire length of my fire pot(even though mine is more of a fire trough). One of these will help when I want a small fire. Keep up the great stuff Roy! Define Your Legacy.
Great video! I had thought about using water to maintain my fire but decided against it because of the fire pot. This is a great alternative. Thanks for the info Roy.
There it is! The wet rag thingy :) who would have thought 6 months after you filmed this it would get so many questions

I like this video, cool tool for fire control. My fires are usually pretty large also and for now I am using anthrosite on account I do not have a chimney on my forge but I do have about 20 yards of bitumus when I get to building a better coal forge.thanks as always for the info packed videos,God Bless you and yours from mine, Martin
nice work mate i dont know anything about coal so not that useful to me but i know a guy that is making a blacksmith's forge room for a tourist attraction so yeah i enjoy learning things in general

God bless you and have a great weekend!
receved the swab, Thank you so much! will definitely put it to good use. love it!!
I made my firepot out of mild, but I think ill still make this instead of a dipper, though might add a ladle latter but more for cooling metal.
I made it... Works well :)
"Quelch" huh I think you mixed quell and squelch. lol. good work man.
Thanks for commenting Andrew. Yeah, I probably did say quelch. LOL. I'm not big on grammar.
years ago I worked with a smith that used a dipper can with holes in the bottom of the dipper can.. he used it as a sprinkler...
If you're gonna use a dripper can, don't pour from the top of the can. Use a can with small holes poked in the bottom so it just dribbles a little bit! Or just use a rag, yeah.
Another good video. Would I use the same process for a coke fire as I do not use raw coal?
Paul Wharton yes you would if it requires it :-) Thanks for watching
Is your quench water as nasty as your oil? Lol I was lucky enough to be able to come across a zulty 1902 Trenton 100 pound Anvil for my first one
wouldn't leather be a good material for the swab?
Brian R yes it could be as long as it is soft leather like suede.
thanks for watching.
thank you the onlly cite
