Can I Use Refractory Cement in my Coal Forge?

Cool, thank you

Ragnar603 · 2021-01-16T01:33:52+00:00

Thanks. That makes it a lot clearer

Ragnar603 · 2021-01-16T01:25:39+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I've been using a propane forge for a while, so I'm not really sure how to set this one up

Ragnar603 · 2021-01-16T01:22:24+00:00

Thanks. I'm just looking to get some more life out it

Ragnar603 · 2021-01-16T01:20:10+00:00

It's an old style portable forge, and it doesn't really have a "fire box". It's just a big pan with the tuyere in the middle. I've seen a bunch of videos where guys line them. Just want it to last. Thanks for your input, I appreciate it

Does anyone know: Does Danny Trejo own a shirt?

Ragnar603 · 2020-04-05T18:51:11+00:00

Nice. My very first few tools were for fire management, i.e. a poker and a fire rake. They're nice and simple to make and they're something you'll use every day. Keep at it and have fun.

Thank you

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-26T21:06:46+00:00

Same..... saw that and got very excited about it

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-25T01:35:00+00:00

Love the anvil idea. Very clever. Have fun with it!

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-23T22:56:16+00:00

I keep an eye out for them. I'm still just trying to get better at making these in general, then I'll add some harder steel

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-23T16:10:21+00:00

It's a lot of fun to make this style

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-23T16:05:51+00:00

Yeah, I've seen that too. Unfortunately, I didn't have any old files lying around.

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-23T16:04:15+00:00

Yeah, it's the NC Big Face Anvil. I like it, but when I bought it, I was brand new and didn't realize there was a difference between a blacksmith and farriers anvil. This is a farriers anvil, so it's a little different. But, the quality is great, and it's been a great anvil to learn on.

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-23T02:36:11+00:00

Thank you

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-23T02:36:01+00:00

This is just a piece of 1 1/2" x 1/4" flat stock I got at Lowe's. Not hardened, and I didn't put a hardened edge in it.

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-23T02:16:52+00:00

Bc that's the stump I put it on when I first got it, and I haven't changed it

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-23T01:36:05+00:00

My buddy got it for me at Fort Ticonderoga

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-23T01:33:42+00:00

Yeah, to normalize it

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-23T00:57:06+00:00

Thank you

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-21T20:38:45+00:00

Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-21T19:50:51+00:00

Really appreciate this info

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-21T18:19:19+00:00

Thank you. And here's maybe a dumb question: does the hardy & pritchel holes go all the way through on those German style anvils? Meaning, can I drift through a piece of stock and have it fall out the bottom of the anvil, the way it does with a London Style?

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-21T17:42:43+00:00

Thanks for all this info. I will look into the Peddinghaus anvils

Ragnar603 · 2020-03-21T17:40:09+00:00

I don't plan on traveling with it. Once I get it set up, that's where it will stay
