My name is Alec Steele and I am a 21 year old blacksmith from Norfolk in the United Kingdom, now living in Montana in the USA! I upload a vlog from my day at the workshop almost every single day. Lots of sparks, lots of making, lots of fantastic-ness. Great to have you here following along!
What do I make? LOTS of Damascus steel, knives, swords, axes and more and of course, I always love hearing your suggestions for future projects in the comments below!
So if you want to see lots of forging fun, blacksmithing badassery, cinematic hammering and more in my Daily Vlog - please subscribe here by hitting that red button!

So i'm a professional machine designer and as a hobby I build forges. So far i'm at 6 minutes of the video and hate to say I think you've gone off the deep end. :) Regardless it's fun to watch. hahahaha. All you need is a single piece of angle iron mounted across the top of both openings. You then slide the firebricks to the side with your tongs to open or close. Keep it simple and you'll be happy over the long run. You've got some serious long term issues with your design. :) I love your creativity!

I thought that's what he was doing then all of a sudden he's welding a big ass frame on top. hahaha. I think in the end he will tear it all off and go with the simple solution (angle iron track that holds replaceable firebricks) but It will be fun to watch the process.

Hey Alec, making forge doors, great project. I'm an electrical engineering 3rd year student, I would suggest putting the control unit below the forge and a chain drive for most of the system, you could use a wire for part of it, the coding should be pretty simple, but I think you might need a PWM to drive your sevo's and a simple button function (which should incorporate de-bounce)

I like the pivoting door idea. Use a pedal and forge a ratchet gear or stepping gear with stops/ledges that will hold the door open at any position, and a release for raising or lowering without engaging the stops. Would also work with a strait up and down door. All using a chain type system. All mechanical. What happens when the power goes down? Nothing ! I can still operate the forge without any deconstruction.

I love how most of the comments were discussing mechanical solutions, and you just go the arduino route. That was a nice curveball. In hindsight, it's to be expected that working with computerized ovens would influence your design...

just use linear actuators .. simple toggle switch, foot lever .. adding "cnc" controls will be a HASSLE .. 12" AC . build time, 2 hours

My mind is weird. I saw a foot petal that pulled a wheel that had a steel cord around it that went though two pulleys and pulled the door to the sides. Spring loaded so they’d shut when your foot was off them. Probably not explaining it right.

Alec isn't one to avoid hassle. Particularly when that hassle involves learning new things. Plus a two hour build means we don't get a glorious 67 part series.

@@trythinking6676 Clever idea but I think the weight of the doors would be enough to close. Maybe a push to the side of the pedal to engage some stop positions.

@David. I’m not explaining what I can see in my head. Better with conceptual ideas and sketching them than explaining it in words.

@@trythinking6676 it is simple. make a foot peddle. use a simple lever and fulcrum to lift the door. put a linkage between the back of the lever and the front of the foot peddle. otherwise the linear actuator. the steppers that he ordered are for light weight thinks and may not lift as fast as he is thinking. he may even burn them out with the load.
