Good video. It's enough forge to see if a person would like smithing or not without a very large investment.

2 things: get 7 of these bricks and make a larger opening. You need enough distance for the flame to mature so you burn all of your fuel. It takes about 9" for a mature flame. So swirling the flame helps too. Secondly, use a single hard brick at the bottom that can be replaced easily. Flux eats the insulating bricks really fast. Also, close off the ends with a brick so you're not letting all of your heat out so quickly. A final thought is to make sure that you don't put the tip of your burner into the firing chamber or it'll melt. Put it in the hole but leave it some space.

It's a good efficient design

I would make my own burner. I've done work with 2300f fire brick, melting copper, to pour into blocks, the brick held up good.

To make the bricks last longer and prevent the worked material from sticking to the bricks, would it make sense to line the inside of the forge with stainless steel? Particularly the bottom surface and the brick face that catches the brunt of the torch flame? Another thought, to keep the bricks in place while moving the forge consider wrapping steel wire around the assembled forge.

I like the video but I learned as much from comment sections also. Like your post

I still like my junkyard forge. I have a whole $50 in it, been using it for 5 or 6 years and can weld in it.

I have one of these at my cottage. Take a few to get up to temp, but I've been able to any kind of work I want in it. I also built a cage around mine to keep everything snug, and stop shifting if it gets bumped.

Thanks Roy I have an acetylene/air silversmiths torch. Do you think that would work with this kind of build? Also I noticed that there was a lot of flame coming out the front. What would you suggest for reducing that effect?

What are the considerations if you want to reach welding heat?

@larryjones4713 3 ай бұрын

The fire bricks that you have are white in color, the fire bricks I have are yellow in color. The bricks I have are very heavy. They were selling them at work, had to many, they were relining the kiln at work. Can you tell me what the difference between the two fire bricks are. Without seeing what I have. I bought 3 pallets of bricks for a nickel apiece. Couldn’t beat the price. I use them in my forge and able to get 2200 degrees but the steel box the bricks are in get very hot. Are the bricks I have suitable for what I’m doing ?

@jonotis1922 3 ай бұрын

I have used hard fire bricks that were recycled from an old ceramics kiln, and they worked great. They were also heavy and yellowish. They will crack if knocked about, but it sounds like you have plenty of spares. You can coat them with a castible refractory to add a sacrificial surface, or to fill gaps. Every gas forge seems to get hot outside after a period of use, so I'd recommend planning on that in your final design. Good luck with your forging, and congrats on a fantastic deal!

What am I missing? A chinese single burner forge would cost about the same as this. Stack some bricks inside if you want a smaller interior. Resell it if you don't like blacksmithing. I imagine it's easier to sell than a pile of used bricks.
