Hi all.
Reed here from Alabama. New to the game. By new I mean brand new! Just cruising to learn more about a trade that has interested me for years. I'm in the process of making my own forge and gathering tools.
I have an idea for some 6in channel and some old fire brick from a fireplace we replaced. I want to lay the channel up in a V, weld r legs on it, cut a hole in the center for my blower pipe, then lay the fire brick on the sides of the V to complete the edge. This would give a small channel under. The brick plus a thin line for the forced air from the blower to travel to the fire bed.
My blower is a blower unit from a small shop heater that looks like a small, 4in electric turbo charger. There is no speed control so I thought of using a baffle to control the air flow.
Any thoughts on this design?
