    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!

      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.

    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.

    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.

    • @WatersIronworks
      @WatersIronworks  2 года назад +3

      I'll add that to the description. It was 30x40 and 1/4 inch thick plate.

    What was the approximate total cost in materials?

    • @WatersIronworks
      @WatersIronworks  Год назад

      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.

      Bituminous coal. I have a couple tons shipped in a few times a year from Texas farrier supply

    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.

      @@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.

      Yah there's a reason I'm a blacksmith and not a wood worker.
