    Good stuff mate.
    But any chance you are going to line that hood? Or do really like making them...?
    Also, plans? Links to parts and equipment? Selling components for us home DIY bods?
    And, there are plenty of refractory sellers online (lots on ebay, but you'll probably end up with 50% asbestos...) Also, Gameco is the Aussie blacksmith/knife-smith supplier.
    Hope that helps mate
    PS - Pritchel hole, not pretzel hole.

      Cheers mate 👍 I was thinking about lining the hood, I probably should now 😆

      I found a link on Amazon for the blower, it's a US link but it should send you in the right direction.
      US Affiliate link for the blower:

      This link is for Ozzy eBay but shipped from China.

    That was a very informative and interesting video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with us. I learned something that I didn’t know I knew I could do. Instead of buying a forge, I will build my own.

    That worked out a real ripper of a charcoal forge for sure.
    I think Blacksmith was considered a qualified trade here in Australia up until about a decade or two ago, there was some old beards a couple of years ago that ran a 12month course at a Tafe for a one-off to do it for a class. But its quite an expensive proposition with the equipment and materials in the modern era.
    Still, I think you're well on your way with that one

    What a nice forge! Congrats for that - design and making.
    And the video editing of the building was great. Nice speed...
    Thanks for that one!

      @@LittleAussieRockets Find the largest size you can swing without fatigue, and then go one pound heavier. For me that's about a 4lb, though in a pinch I'll use my 5lb.

    That is a seriously impressive forge. You have taken charcoal forging to another level.
    If there was some way to coax termites to build in exactly the right spot, you could directly turn one into a forge itself!
    My great grandparents lived on North Straddie with a dirt/sand floor, canvas roof and a termite mound as their oven. They upgraded as they could, but didn't replace the oven.

    The termite mount trick is absolute gold! Thanks for sharing that! There are none around here but I am super stoked that this works.
    God Bless Australia, with all the effed up net zero politics ruining one of a kind nature for wind parks I still hope for the better.
    Kind Regards

    I don't know if your modification was really all that successful, it only got the steel glowing bright enough to cause mild eye damage. If you get it as hot as a welding arc or the sun, and you need a welding helmet just to look at it, then I'll be impressed.

    • @LittleAussieRockets
      @LittleAussieRockets  2 месяца назад

      To forge weld with blacksmithing it only requires the metal to be a bright yellow

      @@LittleAussieRockets the temperature of a welding arc and the surface of the sun is quite a lot hotter than the melting point of steel, like 3 or 4 times hotter, we can't even make forges that get that hot, at least not in our shed anyways. I am not actually suggesting that you need to make runny metal, and it probably wouldn't be advisable to hammer on it until after it solidifies a bit, and without a mould you'll just create flat steel pancakes that will be really difficult to shape back into the rod that you started with... so that you can then make the shape you intended it to become... it kinda seems like an unnecessary complication. Come to think of it, it kinda seems like you just built the perfect forge for doing Exactly what you need it to do, it's almost like someone suggesting that you need to get it to be over 5000°C to be impressed might actually just be taking the p!ss because the awesome little unit you made had the steel glowing so bright it was almost uncomfortable to look at on my screen.
      You're Aussie, I thought you'd understand dry sarcasm.... You're not from QLD are you???.... That was a joke btw.
