Another forge up and running, very nice! I wouldn't mind seeing the repair of the blower, I've never seen the inside of one before. Keep up the good work!
Very nice job. Congratulations. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
Not sure why there's so many rude comments, not like this is a wood working channel. It looks good for what it is, and it's perfectly functional. I wonder if the youtube "woodworking" community would like it better if you had live edge wood and copious amounts of resin...
I've got 10 of them with students using them every weekend, and the frames have presented 0 problems in the 8 years we've used the design. People just like to point out flaws. As you noted, it's not a woodworking channel. Thanks for the comment.
@@WatersIronworks Thanks for the videos, I'm currently going through the curriculum myself (California Blacksmith Association) so your videos are very helpful. Hope you have a Merry Christmas.
I don’t think they realize who they’re dealing with. We’re a group of guys that make all of our own stuff. Need a hammer? We make it. We focus on functional.
Another great video. Quick question, you mentioned the leg length, but you didn't mention the table top dimensions or the plate thickness that you're using.
@@maniachill3069It’s a coal forge, not a dining table. Do you run all your lumber through a planer and jointer when making sawhorses? Also, the point of not bolting down the fire pot and iron is because that plate will rust through from the heat eventually, and you don’t want to try and remove rusted, half melted bolts when swapping the pan. Ask me how I know.

I'll do a quick video on it. Turns out the fan was missing a blade so I'm cutting out a new one and brazing it on.
@WatersIronworks I wouldn't mind seeing you doing that.

Saw a post of yours on Reddit. Good quality videos!
Thanks. The burning shoe video was just published if you were looking for that.
Criticizing is easy
Understanding you there is the rub
RESPECT, sir
If I had worried about criticism, I'd have never started.
..It works! Duct tape is a Great fixer. i like to use bailing wire or a wire coat hanger ...
That would probably be a more historical accurate option.
Cool I'll build one for my shop 😎
Is it good?
I'm a woodworker. Cutting wood... still isn't exciting. You're right.
:)
Another great video. Quick question, you mentioned the leg length, but you didn't mention the table top dimensions or the plate thickness that you're using.
I'll add that to the description. It was 30x40 and 1/4 inch thick plate.
What was the approximate total cost in materials?
Probably 100-150 for the steel plate and angle iron. Another $50-$75 for wood. And the fire pot which is the most expensive is like $350.
Is this in Austin, TX?
It is out at Pioneer Farms.
What kind of coal are you using
Bituminous coal. I have a couple tons shipped in a few times a year from Texas farrier supply
@@WatersIronworks ok thanks for the info
Shoddy planning, measuring, cutting.
Don't need to bolt the forge down, just wait for the grit!? Come on, if it's worth doing, it's worth doing RIGHT.
And then the dryer vent and duct tape.....
Eagerly awaiting your video on how it should be done
Happy to send you a link to donate to the museum so we can upgrade.

That's funny Moe Joe curly
camote🤔😁
are you high
Just on life.
I wouldn’t let you build me anything. That forge looks like the three stooges built it.
Yah there's a reason I'm a blacksmith and not a wood worker.
