I've built a propane gas forge with ceramic fibre insulation!

Check out how I made the anvil knob on the forge's door:

Great forge build. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
Thanks!!
Salut c’est possible de le couler entièrement en ciment fondue au lieu du réfractaire et de la couverture ?
Nice design and build. Yellow Teflon for gas.
Thanks!
Огромное человеческое СПАСИБО!!!
Thank you!! :)
Nice one! I love the burners built from scratch. looking forward to your future projects! 👍
Nice work! Do you have any things you would have done differently now that you've been using it for a while? I'm working on a forge for myself and would like to avoid issues in the future. Does the wool ever need replaced on the inside? I like your burner set up also.
Thanks a lot for your message!
Talking about the functionality I have pretty much no things I would change. The wool is still perfect, just darker and consumed a bit here and there not even slightly to the point of replacing it. The bricks are consumed too but again, very little. They are actually easy to consume however if you don't rub the metal strongly on to it every moment, they will last.
Things I would change:
- (Maybe but not necessarily) Bigger door
- The door hinge made with the threaded rod got stuck because of the heat.
- The (not stainless) mirror finish knob wasn't shiny anymore after 1 week and rusty after 1 month.
- I can't close both front and back door cause they are too tight and the flames came out from top because I've drilled the burners holes in the wool, larger than the pipes. Mistake.
- The propane rubber hose on the side got warm and that made me feel uncomfy, I would keep it more far from the forge.
Overall I'm still very satisfied of how the forge came out and worked, only thing It does not reach the temperature of a coal forge, but that's something we know.
Thanks again!
That wool should be covered with some refractory, the fibres are dangerous to the lungs. And will wear done quickly in the forge.
Hi. The wool is sprayed with the hardener as you can see in the video, it avoids the fibers to tear apart over time!
That is a nice concept but at 1:00 you are welding galvanized steel? Might be better to put the items in a bath of muriatic acid / phosphoric acid before doing such work (in a well ventilated area) to be safe from zinc fume poisoning.
Like the Anvil-Handle though though.
Hi! The two 1+1/2 inch bells are made of stainless steel, however the 3/8 inch pipes are galvanized steel. I didn't want to use chemicals for such a small surface. I'm wearing a respirator while welding, however thinking back, I should at least have burned away the galvanizing, like in my metal foundry video.
Thanks for your comment!
I breathe zinc.

Okay... you have done a great job there. Clearly some skills. But I know you can do better. So I'll take this one, which will free up room in ya shed for the next forge build.
Thanks mate!
