Looks like I will be shopping on craiges list for some deals, actually I am thinking on dropping over at my local propane dealer to look for some scraped Webbers.

Thanks

What about using an old gas grill for the base? Sturdy and on wheels! You’d need to make a grate for the coal and put a hole in the bottom your air. I like the hotwater tanks because they already have a treaded hole in them for the air pipe. Hope this helps.

I am working with my grandson on an effective and clean metal forge to place in my garden shed. Now I’ve seen some forges and they were not what I wanted. We need somthing transportable. We are working on small knives, and wood tools nothing real large, we could use some tips.

I printed this blog entry for one of my sons, and he has already started on his forge. He got an anvil (old piece of RR track, about 16″ long), and found an old water heater while tramping about in the woods. We have hauled the tank home, and are planning the next step. Which brings me to my point … Could you post detailed pictures to accompany your story? It would go a long way in helping this city-boy figure out what everything you said meant.

Thanks!

I’m not sure when I’ll get to it. I’ll let you know as soon as I do.

I don’t care much for it either. What an energy bill, more like a joke! Oh, did you know that they have DST in Alaska. Stupid….its all light or all dark, not much in between, but they change the clock anyway.

I’d be real interested in those pictures. I can always count on you for useful information. Thanks.
