I had a decent forge already , it was just too big....errr long maybe. It works good but takes alot to heat it.
So , I decided to build another one. I already had the 2" KaoWool blanket, found a guy in town that had these "Hi Heat" Kiln bricks for sale ( brand new for $1.50 each ) Old gas can for a shell. Using my existing T Rex Burner.
I built it ontop of my old forge, I figure I will use one for forging and one for welding, IDK.
I coated the inside 2X with ITC 100 and the bottom with 1 brick with 1/4" of Bubble Aluma on top fo that. It seems like it gets real hot on the outside, I'm not real impressed with the KaoWool, maybe I'll put some more ITC 100 in it...IDK if it will help or not.
On to the pictures. It gets good and hot , the last pic its running about 7 psi.
Thanks for looking and any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
