old'un Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 These are questions not criticism, the heat generated in the forge will be high, is there not the possibility that the heat will burn through the thin metal quite quickly? Does it not need fire bricks in the base? I also see you have bolted the legs on, I built a barbecue and did the same and every time it cooled down the legs were wobbly due to the nut and bolt becoming loose through expansion and contraction, would it not be better to weld the legs on?

Dave-G Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 I think its truly amazing you were able to show absolutely everything in a horizontal view instead of vertical. How big a magnet were you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old farrier Posted February 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 There’s going to be a few inches off ashes on the bottom and sides instead of fire bricks yes it will burn through in time which is why we bolted the legs on thing is it cost nothing to build and all that is part of the learning experience he’s got the other end of the drum for the next one and as time goes on he should develop a better version at 16 he’s got no ££ at anything in the way of tools so we’re working on making them the project is about applying the maths 😊 as for the horizontal picture it’s something to do with the phone reducing the size sadly I don’t know what 😊😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All part of the learning process level hammer blows on a level (both ways) anvil creates easy and SAFE work 🙄 none of the shooting off at angles or twisted wonky work 🙄 no excuse just trying to make it easier for the lad 59 minutes ago, amateur said: I didn't know if you had a spare to lend him, or if he would have to make one.
