My favorite is watching youtubers say, I built for $10 with scrap. Then they show you all the NEW material that was just sitting around hahahahahhah. You actually used scrap and made a working forge! My only moment of concern was the spray paint on the open flame furnace lol. But all and all this was fun to watch. Good Job Sir!
Just so everyone knows, that's an air to air boot ment to connect turbo boost tubes to intercoolers on diesel trucks. They are use to 30 to 50 psi at a couple hundred degrees. They can easily take the heat and pressure of a hair dryer.
Wow, I haven't been here in ages. Crazy how busy life gets that draws us apart eh old friend. I trust/hope all is well at the new homestead my old friend.
@@Robinson-Homestead It is nice to see what you are up to these days. I was just reminiscing about the day you turned left off the road into that wall of bush. I have a bunch to get caught up on. I just told her about your little fe-line. I think she liked that and it makes me feel kind of special too my friend. Thanks eh.
Tomoko ,it is good to hear from you , yes we came a long way but still a lot of projects to do maybe one day we will get done but i doubt it lol.I am glad to hear your doggie like that we named our kitty cat after her. take care and thanks for watching.
@@Robinson-Homestead One guarantee in life when we go into a situation that you have here is there will NEVER be nothing to do, LOL. Big or small, makes no difference eh. Getting the big takes 20% of the time and that 80% of the time for finishing as you know sooooo well SO YOU CAN PLAN ON TAKING IT EASY IN YOUR SEINIOR YEARS. It will be really nice to travel along with you old friend.
Nice job fit and function is damn near perfect now I’m headed off to my local big truck repair shop to get a brake drum maybe something just a little bigger than that! Thanks for the idea and the instruction God bless America
I have been bolting rotors together for pedestal grinders/polishers for years now. I can get them for free from my local tire store. Love this little forge bud. I am going to stop and get a rotor or two from the logging truck shop I used to be the head fabricator for and make a pedestal with one and a forge with the other. Love that clinker breaker. Great idea fella ! Neat build from a bunch of scrap Kevin, Well done !
@@MyLife-lg6tg These forges really shine when the parts are the right size for smaller pieces. Briquets are an inexpensive fuel and last a good long time. I can do a 3 or 4 automotive piston melt and pour in just over an hour. Sure nothing wrong about that and it is recycling too. Win, win eh.
Amazing! Thank you. I never thought a home forge could ever be something possible for steel bending jobs I want to do, propane torch is an option but so expensive, this is just awesome! Love from UK.
I think everybody starts with a hairdryer for their first low-buck forge. I still have one that looks like it was in a housefire from my first, and it still blows air mostly out the front! Since moving up to a 'high bypass' leaf blower (😎) that can scream more air in for crucible days, my only problem is finding good diameter stainless steel that won't melt! Oddly enough, charcoal chimney-style starters are a lot more durable than you'd think for that purpose, or I lucked out and the factory that day was running Inconel, ha! Yes, your coupler is silicone and will handle ~800F, though as you said, as long as air is passing through and around it, you'd have to worry about the welds melting down first long before your heat ever gets way down there! Junkyard Forge works every time.
Really cool little forge, only one thing, I would have put 4 legs on it, and little bigger , that looks so vulnerable to tipping over sideways. Have so many of old rotors, use a few to put a 6" pipe on for my grinders, make great bases. 👍👍👍👍Well done Kevin.
good video , thank you . ;tip , your torch is big for coping the pipe to make your saddle , turn it down & you'll cut better , instead of just melting the material
Good project, I made my forge out of an old camping gas bottle, I cut it in half length way's and inverted one half into the other and seam welded them together, but not before cutting a hole for the hair dryer, then drilled holes along the length of the furnace bottom for air flow from the dryer, works brilliantly. All the best to you. Paul.
Just wanted to say thanks. Been wanting to build a small cheap forge for projects and hobby work. I thought I would have to get in my pocket a good bit, thanks to this video, I know I can find everything for at most $10-$15 if even that much, so thank you my friend.
Very cool got pieces together for drum type just gotta weld legs and I didn't know about that rattler deal thinking I'm going to use some old t Post that were Bent should have 3 with enough straight to make leg's
Find a old truck steel bud wheel, there deep dish and would set on top of the one you made, put a steam inside to hold it on, Did a fantastic job on this,
I love it! Oxy/Ace to cut it, Flux core to weld it! Old school and new school together at last . Doncha love the Flux core w/o the tip shield? So accurate for tiny spots.! Thanks. I think I've got most of that. If I build it, I'll holler again! Thanks
Great build - I don’t know why TH-cam waited two years to show it to me. I don’t know what I need more, a forge, or a use for the extra brake rotors I saved!
Great idea for a forge! I am going to copy your idea with much thanks, but I am going to ad another brake drum with a hinge on top. so that I can add a little more coal, and also have a lid on it to increase the heat if needed. The top cove will have a cutout so that I can have longer items in the forge. Once again, thank you for the great idea. It just so happens there is a heavy truck garage down the road, maybe they will have a few spare old drums.
I’m iimpressed. It looks easy when you do it. I have to start serching for parts and see if i could make one of my own. My husband may have to lend me his tools and show me a thing or two. My dream is to do some blacksmithing and I’ve got to follow my dreams, right. Thanks for an inspiring video /Nilla from Sweden
My first forge I used a bean can and silver tape to connect the hair dryer, worked as good as it needed to until I upgraded! The point is, if you want to give it a go just do it, find, beg,borrow or pilfer the materials to build and get started, you wont regret it, unless the pilfering part bites you in the arse!😂 get forging, its great fun and very addictive!
I like your idea I'm gona use the hub from a big truck so il have more volume for coal and maybe build a enclosure with fire brick and instead of a hair dryer maybe a heat gun. compressed air is hot but you need to run the compressor non stop you will want to keep it as hot as you can. I don't know it might not be a problem.
Hi Kevin ! I was just curios to see a " simple" way to build a forge of iron junk. Just the way what I want to do, maybe as You advised: A little bit bigger diameter etc. Thanks for this time ! Great ! Best regards: Ari Koskinen
not too shabb mate great ideas floating around my head now I have a new workshop, That rubber looks very like an APU or bleed air duct joint rubber off an aircraft. Sad bud after a lifetime of working as an aircraft engineer I think that's what it is hahaha.
Mines pretty similar other than i have two steel rims stacked and welded for a base, used crossing chains as a grate and welded a socket sideways onto a bolt for the clinker
I used the outer 16" rim ring from a cube van dually truck. The portion the tire would mount to unbolts and is then the perfect size for the coals. I remember the first times I started to weld. My teacher said "when your getting a good weld it should sound just like your frying up some good greasy bacon". That is a good reference when learning to weld imo. You'll squeeze a few more cfm using hairdriers if you disable the heating coil, since the colder the air becomes the more dense it becomes, its obvious that equals a hotter forge. That's merely nit picking ISPO. But if you can use a touch more of cfm it helps to get it there. Thanks for the upload blacksmith I always find some tips that are useful.
My idea of engineering ..Cheap. Simple using what is at hand . Cutting and drilling as little as possible and ending up with something that works . Regards, Jim in NI UK
Cut a hole in an empty 50 gal metal drum that fits your drum. Pop a hole in the side for a hair dryer then toss a metal grate in the bottom to keep the coal from falling through. It works like a charm.
@@Robinson-Homestead No problem. I love Learning new things and have Always been fascinated with Forging/Blacksmithing. Showed your video to a friend who offered to build one for me. But my neighbors would shoot me (I live in a Subdivision) so the hammering...ya.. you get it I am sure! I sooo badly want one though!!!
Hi Kevin I have being looking at different small forges in you tube and really I have not found nothing that I like or it was safe enough which a person still have to be safe but any how i like that style of forge you made I think and can make one like that and it would do for what I want to do make knifes and so on ..Kevin it was a ex video you made all the way from Northern mi .. see you mario
Very interesting to watch. I have a friend who’s a mechanic and I’ll be asking him if he can get me some of the parts you’ve shown in this video. I’m excited to build my own forge and you’ve given me the motivation to do just that, thank you
Nice forge, please consider moving out your cars and anything containing gasoline or stuff like that out of the garage while welding, cutting etc. Easy to 💣
A nice and simple Forge, Looks Well done....i Had one of my own, i cladded the inner Part of the drum with Heat resistent mortar to reduce Heat loss, but thats was Just for "Research", its not necessary....the mortar cladding ist getting brittle after some time...anyway - Well done and Well explained & Filmed.
Great idea for an affordable forge. If I may suggest weld a car/truck rim to the top of the forge ( cut the center out of the rim ) then you would have a forge that would hold as much coal as needed. And also your building cost would me minimal.
How about a flapper at the bottom of the 2 inch pipe for dumping the ashes? easy to make one with a counterweight hung off it to hold it closed until you want to open it. just a suggestion . Nice little forge build ;)
Parts, an air source (Blowdrier), a grate to keep coals from entering the air source (not needed if it is fed horizontally), a container for the heat (the drum brake) and a stand if you want it elevated

Right. People don't seem to know what free means.

Also the pipe appears to be either 2 3/8 or 2 7/8 EuE tubing and you can get caps collars Bull plugs at most oil field supply stores or pipe yards
A little late but a fernco fitting for plumbing might work as well❤👍
We also use them in the aviation industry.
