I'm really liking your clinker breaker and the ash dump and clinker breaker handle. My clinker breaker is a solid piece of steel just a little smaller than the hole, maybe 3/8 all the way around for air flow. Now that I see yours I'm thinking about either drilling some holes in it or slotting it similar to yours.

MOSSY HOLLOW thanks! There are some improvements I will probably make to this forge since I've been using it, hood, pair of wheels, some cutouts in the pan so stock can be slid in level to the firepot, and if I can find a better blower cheap ( as in 10$ at a yard sale or something). Other than that it's a good little forge.

After i saw this video i went and made one lol Not real good steel suppliers in my area though so i ended up getting 1/8” steel for the main table and 3/8” steel for the fire pot. But I burn anthracite and havent noticed any problems so far. Thanks for the design idea man
@SAVAGE_IRON2 жыл бұрын
3/8 is absolutely fine for the fire pot, could even get away with 1/4 inch, my table is only 16 gauge, 1/8 is definitely better, Well done! if you can find a hand crank blower i recommend it, wont melt your projects as easily, though with that kind of coal you will need a pretty strong blower.

What keeps the table from melting?
@SAVAGE_IRON6 жыл бұрын
reaction channel5290 all the heat is in the fire pot, which is half inch thick steel, air is blown in from the bottom which does a couple things, makes the coal burn hotter, and keeps the fire pot cooler. the table may be thinner sheet metal, but none of it contacts the fire in the forge, it is simply to hold coal to be burned in the fire pot.

this forge has been holding up fantastic, there has been no damage to the fire pot or the clinker breaker in the years I've had it, the only thing i have changed is i swapped the electric blower for an old hand crank one. thanks for the kind words, i hope to make some more videos in the near future.

I would like to know how you attached the Clinker Breaker blocks to the round rod. Did you drill through and then weld? Also is seemed that it was spring loaded..can you show a picture of that if it is.. Thanx... Frank
@SAVAGE_IRON6 жыл бұрын
the bars are held on with set screws, i ground a flat in the rod so it doesn't slip, this makes the whole thing able to come apart for any repairs needed. yes there is a spring attached to a small lever that returns the bars to their original position. if i remember I will show it in my next video.

I would like to know how you attached the 1/2” spinning blocks that hold the coal, also if the forge can heat up steel orange hot, can it also melt the spinning blocks that holds the coal?
@SAVAGE_IRON3 жыл бұрын
the clinker breaker bars are 5/8 x 3/4 inch, they are attached with set screws on a 3/8 bar. this forge is easily able to melt steel, and it has, however because of the air flow from the blower it keeps the fire pot and clinker breaker plenty cool enough to not melt, in fact the fire pot and tuyere (where the air enters the fire pot) don't even reach 800 degrees while this forge is running. so far there is absolutely no damage to the fire pot or clinker breaker in the 3 years since i built it.

you can, though it isn't necessary, since air is being blown up through it, i have measured the temperature of this firepot while this forge has been running, and it never got above 800 degrees, it wasn't even glowing. this firepot is made of 1/2 inch thick mild steel, nothing special, the inside surface hasn't degraded, and there really isn't much change since i built it.

this forge cost me very little to make, its mostly scrap material or metal i got for free, blower cost me 5$ probably less then 40$ total. the firepot is quite small in comparison to other forges, as its only 8x8 by 3 inches at its deepest so it is probably as small or smaller then a truck break rotor or drum, fuel efficiency seems good. also coal where i live is cheap, last i bought coal i got 430 pounds for 21$ , and it performs fine. this forge is 1 of 3 that i have made, if i want to work on something larger i will use my gas forge. half the time I'm making smaller items, such as knives, bottle openers, spatulas, steak turners.
