Thanks for the post. I'm exploring gas options as I'm in the same boat as jwgraham77. I've been making my own coal but it takes too much time. I'm looking forward to the insulation and burner builds.
Those hinges leave a lot to be desired. I would count this video as a way not to install hinges. Facing the "Front of the Forge," the "L" should be facing up towards the sky, because the way you have it, when you open the door, gravity will take effect, and the door will just fall to the ground. I'm very surprised it did not happen while demonstrating the door. As for the right side hinge, what a night-mare just to open.
Right you are Stanwood Dave. The L facing up would be much better. I have been forging quite steadily and only have had to use the door once on a sword build i just finished. Thank you for the comment.
Good video... But why aren't you working on a bench? It always fascinates me when people work on their knees from the floor. Surely you have a proper bench/worktop in your garage? Could you make a video explaining what insulation you used along with fitting instructions? All the best.
At a glance, the burners appear to be Michael Porter designs?? Are/have you going/posted the burner video? How's the temperature and fuel economy with two burners? Thanks, for the post; more ideas are always better!
The link is now posted for the burner build in the description. It has no problem reaching forge welding temperature and in my opinion the fuel economy is great. I recently forged a sword from a large coil spring with one tank of fuel or less. The forge needs to be much longer for Heat treating long blades I found out :(
Sorry for the late post I followed the video for a bit and did not see many views and now there are quite a few. I posted my burner build which the link is in the description and will very soon post then insulation part of the forge build. Thank you all the support.
Joe M Mams well gawd dam It he was supposed to make this vid just for you. How about you search for what you actually want to learn. Damn there’s a thought huh?
George Costanza!!!!

Hi Countrybum, this was a great video. Can you please share a link to the burner video? Thanks, Steve
HI S Fritsch, the link is now in the description. Sorry for the wait.
At a glance, the burners appear to be Michael Porter designs?? Are/have you going/posted the burner video? How's the temperature and fuel economy with two burners? Thanks, for the post; more ideas are always better!

Great looking forge, but like everyone else, where are the other videos?? Would really like to see the other videos...
Thank you Richard, The burner video link is now in the description. The insulating video will be uploaded today.

you spoke about the wool were do you get it from I haven't been able to find it
Tuckers Pottery supply or Pottery Supply house are two places I use.
I've found it at lows actually
I'm unsure honestly
can this forge get hot enough to make Damascus or forge welded metal?
I have forge welded many times with it very easily.
didn't show burners or insulating material...the only things I was interested in
Don't know if you are still interested, but they are now on his channel. ^-^

We never see the forge working?????
where's the next video? it's been six months. and you also said you had a video of how to make through burners. I only see one video on your chanel.
They are now on his channel :)
Jeffyboyy thanks bud I already watched them lol. I subscribed to the chanel back when I wrote that post. very informative
I've no idea honestly
