DIY Gas Forge Build No Welding Required

- Today we try a Forge Build No Welding Required!
What up Fam? So I have wanted to build a gas forge for a while. The issue I have had is that most of them seem to require some kind of welding to take place. I have no way, currently to do said welding. But we are skill monkeys, damn it! If we want a forge we will make a forge! So I hope you enjoy watching my attempt at making a gas forge with NO WELDING REQUIRED!
That being said this gas forge build does use the explody juice and there IS danger involved. As such, I do not recommend this forge build without the supervision of an experienced professional.

I won't lie. You are one of the best "how to" channels I've come across in a long time. The way the steps are explained are very well understood and you make projects much less intimidating to approach. I'm very grateful to have found your channel! Keep up the good work!
WARNING. After using rigidizer you you ABSOLUTELY NEED to coat with a refractory cement. Rigidizer should be applied once the kaowool is installed as you you saw that folding it opened creases that were not exposed to the rigidizer. Rigidizer just helps keep fibers down while you're putting refractory on. Running that forge without refractory is DANGEROUS as just as many fibers that cause silicosis and cancer are being spewed out. THIS WILL RUIN YOUR LUNGS!
This is a great video but you CANT SKIP THAT STEP!
@@bryanwells1837Can you give a quick explanation on how to do this??
I honestly can't believe this channel doesn't have more subscribers
Our road to world domination is a long one, but it is full of great people that make the journey worth it 😁
It's kinda annoying
@@SkillTree Merlin's old school garage: turn your alternator into a welder.
Could be the weird satanic stuff, lol
he pours it on a little too thick. Needs to chill a bit with all that clever acting. His target audience is smiths not 13 year old kids.
Be aware that the galvanized hardware you used will release highly toxic zinc fumes, I'd recommend using stainless steel instead
All stainless! I made sure not to use galvanized anything. Made that mistake with the foundry bucket
@@SkillTree it's hard to tell, the hinge and feet looked like galvanized, glad to hear they're not!
@@edwardhunts it is a thing I wish I said in the video. It's an important point. Super dangrous and, in a lot of hardware stores, the black pipe and the galvanized are side by side and someone might mix and match not knowing.
@@SkillTree I came here to check this too :P
@@The_Ashling thanks for caring for my safety!
for paint removal, a wire wheel would work better on your grinder. heats up the paint less, and doesn't gum up like a flap disk.
I know this is late, but still might be helpful
for anyone who is using propane tanks... one of the vids i looked at a while back suggested filling the tank with water before making any cuts. just to be sure there is not gas left in the tank. This concept applies to any place when there is something flammable.
Love how you go into detail on with every projects you make. Keep up the good 👍🏽 work.
Awesome no-weld build! Like you say, not everyone has or can justify buying a welder. So, your gas port turned out to be conveniently in the optimal place when you built that part, keeping the valve away from the forge. For other/future builds, I suggest assembling all the brass parts except the end cap, and aligning that in the reducer to place the valve, etc. in the angle desired, then mark/drill the gas port. When assembling pipes, you may not always get the parts rotated to where you want them, but NEVER unscrew them to reach the angle you want/need! Instead, tighten slowly to reach that point. Brass stretches, flexes, bends when its tightened. Loosening it can create leak points, even if it feels tightly assembled.
GREAT POINT! I am glad I lucky stumbled into a good configuration, I would have been so upset if the orifice was pointing up and the pipe was running into the body of the forge LOL.
Great video! Just picked up two propane tanks yesterday… and this video will definitely help in building my little forge! Thanks!!

Love this build, will use it myself. Some satinite will make the ceramic fiber insulation much safer and last longer, and you won't need the second layer.
One suggestion is to use some kind of cutting oil for your metal drilling and tapping. I’ve even used WD-40 when I was out of cutting oil. It will make the cuts easier, and help your bits to last a lot longer.
Been wanting to make my own forge and a foundry for a while. Excellent build.
Thank you for watching! I am glad you enjoyed!

That was such a pleasure to watch! Probably your best video yet! (and that's saying something!)
Thanks a lot, bro! It was super fun to do😁
Turn a railroad spike into a classy knife/letter opener. Style it as you like! Railroad spikes are super easy to get and I've heard they're a great starter project for amateur blacksmiths to learn with. Rebar can also be used! (though I usually see rebar turned into medieval looking fork/knife/spoons)
I’m building a forge this weekend. This was one of the best videos I’ve seen of a build so far. But I’m definitely buying a welder at Harbor Freight and going to weld it. Will be easier.
This is one of the best forge tutorials I've ever seen
Thanks bro!
Tip: if using a propane tank, before doing anything else, fill it completely with water then empty it. This will displace any residual propane and prevent any high-temperature unpleasantness.
How about an AC refrigerant tank?
U are too underrated. Pls dont ever stop making these m8
Thanks! I am glad you enjoy the content!
Small piece of advice, Have confidence in your abilities. You're doing better than most.
Something worth looking at for extra safety is a Flash Back Arrestor/suppressor. Normally used for Oxy/Acetylene torches, you can also get them for other flammable gasses. Regulators don't always have them built in, even expensive ones. Should be able to get them from where you get your gas from. Otherwise welding suppliers do have them.
In a naturally aspirated propane system like this, there is no benefit in having a flashback arrestor. In a system running oxy, it's possible for oxygen to be forced back into the propane hose (or vice versa) which can create a combustible mix, but in this system that's impossible. Pure propane will not and can not burn without oxygen, and it is impossible for it to burn back up the hose or inside the bottle.
His burner is made with gas pipe which is black pipe and brass, Black Pipe is Not Galvanised, it is instead coated with a dissolvable coating in many cases just a oil, or a cheap lacquer coating on the black pipe is iron and rust readly. Coat with a barbecue paint and it won't rust do a burn in outside and you good to go. The pipe parts let dry overnight then heat them up with a torch let cool and you're good to go. Have even seen waxed coated black pipe.
The feet on the other hand probably won't get hot enough to dispel zinc gas off due to the heat proofing material inside, this material works very well at keeping the majority of the heat on the inside. And you can make or even buy these angles and hinges in black iron for gates so that would be the way to go. though if worried about zinc poisoning just rough them up and spray with a barbecue paint let dry. Though always take every precaution and necessary steps for your safety and others. you can get a good refractory material by the bucket depends on your wallet.
By the way the feet are quick scaled at the factory which means they are quick dipped and generally it is Galvanized then balled milled to get that shiny look, some are electroplated. Though some manufacturers use other metals or have other treatments to ward off rust as well. Why I would recommend that you just get some cheap iron Black fence brackets and hinges, you can find latches to, and iron stove bolts, if your going to use bolts. That resolves any issues you might have to begin with. These are just a hard black painted non galvanized iron.
Surprised you didn't just make some rivets and riveted them on with your small forge. You can use 16 penny nails non galvanised , that's the common nail used in most structural carpentry. Just cut to length, heat till a nice cherry red, and rivet them in place. I use to use those very brackets under houses because they didn't rust. It really is a good little furnace by the way for small projects, annealing and hardening or metal working projects.
If you want to get into metal welding the old fashioned way, get some 20 Mule Team laundry soap as it's nothing but straight 100% Borax. Which is what to use for your flux, for metal forging and welding. A box will last you for years, just keep it dry. You don't need to buy any special fluxes for forging and welding doing blacksmithing.
Nicely done dude! Won’t take near as long to make another razor now!
nice job! iv been wanting to do a small table top design for a few years, deff gunna pull some stuff from this, thank you!
I am super happy you found this useful! Stay safe!
Ron Reil is the guy to check out for burner designs.
You can get a little more efficiency out of them with an ITC-200 coating on the fibre.
@@Ammoniummetavanadate I'll check him out for sure!
I have to say
I LOVE how enthusiastic and into what you make u are
U are just purely enthusiasm
Oh yh and we at skill tree take no responsibility for 'loss of life' 🤣
I DO love the things I get to make here. Carries me away 😅
@@SkillTree as u should be. No ones judging
Thanks for the build. This is awesome. May the smithing God's smile upon you.
And you as well! May your forge be hot and your hammer fall true.
I’m back and I’m ready to make a Hell Pig!
Welcome back! Hope you like it!
The spring, once heated will lose its springyness real fucking fast.
I thought of that. I can replace it if need be but thus far the bottom hasn't gotten nearly to the temperature for it to be a concern. The spring, at its hottest, has gotten mildly uncomfortable to touch. I will keep you posted when it decides to give up the ghost
@@SkillTree put a small bit of the insulation cloth between the body of the forge and the spring. Like a round bit from the hole you cut...
Nicely done ! Only thing though, it's only for outside projects (not udeable at all in the middle of winter). Can I challenge you to make one entirely safe for in-house/inside use as a bonus project ?
But seriously, very nice work. Looking forward for your future projects. Keep up with the good work.
Thanks man great video
So perfect for my workshop! I am so having fun making tools. Speaking of, any thoughts on making a mace? (Many clerics and shamans use non edged weapons)
I have an idea. You should take a regular chair and turn it in to a nice throne chair in which you can sit with your fancy wizard hat and smoke your pipe.
I was looking for a calm cool way to build a forge. Instead I get a guy who sounds like a used car salesman screaming at me.
Absolutely love this channel, you should definetly look to forge Anduril flame of the west or something.
Just a tip. I believe that I saw your vise has two sets of jaws, it can be flipped yes? The bottom set of jaws is designed for pipe. You won't have issues with the pipe slipping out of the vise if you use the right jaws. Probably this will help with keeping you tap square as well.
Really great video
Other note: Files only cut in one direction, if you drag them back over the edge you will dull them faster.
I did no know that! Thank you😁👍
Unless it’s a double cut file.
Common misconception, it really doesn’t matter.
@@GiovanniGiorgo ^This, it was disproven with testing. Cheap files may be subject to different rules.
Also, depending on the grind, stoking in one direction only gives you more control over the finish.
DUDE!! This is amazing! My biggest hang up making a forge is lack of welding. THANK YOU!! That being said I have Mal's Browncoat that I'd like to modify with some knot work. How would you embroider leather? The coat is made of suede and I don't have a machine to use. How do?
always an amazing vid Cl3ver
The only thing I would change is to add a damper of some kind to help control your air/fuel mixture
🤣 Okay this is such an awesome video to find. I have one of those tanks that needs to be replaced and I was looking at it the other day thinking "Hmmm. This would make a really awesome little forge."
Now you need to make a few crucibles for smelting, so that you can cast pendants, clasps, random cool shiny things.
I'm still working my way through your back catalogue, maybe you have already done so.
Also, I love Fallout and that vibe was right on.
Would love to see Geralt’s sword from the Witcher to go with your bracers!
I have most of everything I need to make a forge but I've been putting it off for a while because my work space has become incredibly cluttered due to people using it as storage space. Maybe this is a signt to clean it up and get my forge made finally? So many projects I've wanted to start but can't yet.
You forgot to apply a coat of refractory cement.
Fun video and this looks like a great project...BUT... The most dangerous bit isn't the burners, it's the insulation that you only soaked with rigidizer without covering it with refractory cement. Dude. YOU HAVE TO COVER THE INSULATION BLANKET WITH REFACTORY CEMENT. As long as that blanket can shed fibers, it's a hazard.
Another great vid man, props!
Random thought, would a Hephaestus Hog produce damascus bacon? 🥓🤔
put some one-way-valve to your system realy adds security into it. Just be sure your valve is rated for gas
How to forge a forge ; great job!
Holy cats, man, nice work! That might work for metal clay projects.
I hadn't actually heard of metal clay before, but looking it up it's pretty neat.
@@HikuroMishiro I never pulled the trigger to work with it myself, but it looks like you can get a nice combination of organic and inorganic (industrial?) shapes.
😍😍😍 I had never heard of this material either and now I want to use it BADLY! Great call!
@@SkillTree that'd be sick, man! You get to combine your clay working experience plus fire! It's pretty ... metal.
@@aaronlittle5478 🤣🤣🤣🤣 BUH DUM TSSSS!
Love the design, but encourage caution when it comes to any galvanized parts. Once heated, those fumes can be quite toxic. For whatever that is worth to folks.
Hi mate it’s perfect work keep it up good work but can we push the pipe all the way to pass the insulation inside the tank because I don’t like the flame touch the insulation wall give me your opinion please thanks
nice, great!
Very nice
Thanks!
Gloves would probably be some wise to invest in.
just give us the sword episode now or else I will summon the gates of hell to curse you
Silly! If you open the gates of hell I will just stroll out!
@@SkillTree didnt think of that
I think Littel Oreo will have a "word" with you if you do that 😁
Seriously make the sword tho
I would recommend adjusting your ball valve lever angle.
Can't think of anything clever to say so...
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That was hot!
OH, SNAP! That dad joke was FIRE!
I know I'm behind the curve on this one but I totally think that you should forge a fork a knife and a spoon so that when you go larping you don't have to use Silverware out of the event
Came here from the latest camping tools video. Giving a great tutorial a boost.
I think it would be cool to learn how to make/do stained glass work
The inside looks like a spaceship 😁
Part of my secret hampster space program🤫
@@SkillTree ohhhh 🤫🤫🤫 did you say something? 🤭
You should make a Viking seax knife.
How about a custom makers mark for a project?
Yes a beautiful fire piggy
The Bacon of Blaze, The Sausage of Sizzle, The Ham of Hades!
How did you cut the threads into the tank for the 1.5 in pipe nipple?
No threads needed. The wall of the tank is thin enough where the thread has no issue grabbing on. Good luck!😁
Horde away cl3wer, do the builders dilema. "i need to hord this thing, beacuse i might need it", ten years and a superfilled workshop later, "see, i gott a use for it, thats way its smart to horde"
Btw. Would be cool to see you forging a axe
Oooh! An axe WOULD be cool! Great suggestion. Also, that is totally me! I am so happy and vindicated when the thing I greedily held on to for YEARS comes in handy🤣
Axes are super hard to make, I am working up to it too.
You can do a simple design where you fold-over to make the eye, but a proper axe with a drifted eye is quite a challenge.
No refractory cement???
Just an FYI in all the forges I have built the rigidizer is added after its stuffed in place.
I should add that other than that this is an amazing build. I will make the same suggestion to you that I do all beginners, make some tongs first!
Check out Alec Steele. So many cool projects to start off. When he gets back to America you guys should do a collab.
Piglet of Punishment, Sausage of Satan, Hephaestos' Hams...
How long did you need just to come up with these? XD
I don't think you used it, but this was a lost chance for something like a "Hellhog".
That top piece of pipe defeats the purpose of the reducing fitting. It's intended to work as a venturi which will increase the airflow and give you better heat. Putting that piece in chokes it down and eliminates that effect
Neat
Thank you!
Ok but the refractory should be on the walls and the bottom? Advise me guys thanks
Salut c’est possible de le faire entièrement avec du ciment fondue ?
I’d love to see you make mokogama a nickel an copper Damascus. And make a hilt an pommel for another weapon from it.
That sounds super pretty 😍
@@SkillTree it looks very beautiful an has a depending on how you pattern weld it an amazing color difference
You could make your own welder using microwave Transformers
Forge a dagger for the Corrupted Druid or a metal wand for a war mage
I was thinking of CLAWS for the Druid 😃
@@SkillTree Even better
🔥🔥🔥🔥🤩🔥🔥🔥🔥
new drinking game... take a shot every time Cl3ver says "Nipple" in his videos. ;) love you Cl3ver.
can you use a water heating tank for this build
Dang, that's huge!
Wondering why we havent seen this bad boy in action since the release of this video 🤔 come on #Skilltree, Cl3ver make something out of it already! 😆
I shall very soon. Winter hit and I have been a baby about go8ng out in the cold 🤣
you say it is a fire pig but where oh where is the lipstick? bit of a missed opportunity there...
for my $.02 make a kitchen knife, great first project and it is useful
Make a blowpipe and darts next
I found it really funny the amount of times he said nipple
You have a dirty mind.
Hmmm... how about a dwarven hammer?
Comment for algorithm and interaction
Bro i need help.....can i make it with lpg gas my from india ....n i m blacksmith.... Plz tell
Pls make thermal anvil from world of warcraft mists of pandaria XD
Here before Belfried sent out the notif. What do i win?
My undying love and adoration!
@@SkillTree A fitting prize XD
That is scary similar to the one I built a few years ago, although I did weld on a base and port for the burner, and I also have the bottom cast with refractory I "borrowed" from work along with the Unifrax blanket and the cylinder itself....
So that guy should get up to at least 1000C if it is anything like my build.
Here is a link to it if anyone is curious, the video is off a cheap cellphone so it is hot garbage: ruclips.net/video/8EIMTmFlP2o/видео.html
I am building a new stand for it this week actually, I want my damn workmate back in service...
Why don’t u make a welder out of some microwaves. I’ve seen it done.
just wanted meat and potatoes... needed some prozac to keep focused here?!
Be sure to smash that thumbs down button if you didn't enjoy the content. Cheers
Satan's hog, no pig at all...
Damn not first
Always next week!
This guy is good in small small doses. Great work on the forge tho
So much easier to just buy a welder and weld
I don't think that tank was off a filtration system. I pretty sure it is an expansion tank because I recently replaced mine. Its purpose is to deal with thermal expansion of water as it heats up in the water heater.
haha nipple
summoning chant for the sausage of satan huh? dont use that again without context
