100 lbs

My testing has only been able to reach 2220 , failure. Then I realized I was out of propane:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

A test Fire

Fired up the new forge today , it was at 1200 before I could even slap myself on the back so I shut her down . I will fire her up later in the day again and slowly move the temp up.

Ed you convinced me the blower is headed close to the floor , better safe then sorry.

Well just the motor controller and pyrometer to install and another week to cure and its time for heat. While I bide my time I am putting a small propane torch in the burner hole and heating it up a bit.

We have a top , it has Kaowool on the bottom which I painter a very wet coating of Mizzou on one side and then poured the top . For my form I bought a 4''x 10' piece of vinyl flooring , worked great.

Ed , mine is a shade smaller but before I poured it I slid it square under a chain fall that is on a overhead rail in the shop. Before I poured the body I figured it to be around 250 lbs. I did not radius the burner hole but located it parallel with the side wall so the opposite radius wall give...

Poured the body today now wait a few days and remove the forms.

Blanket came in , forms are in the Mizzou Plus is towmarro.

Starting to look like something , ordered some 1'' blanket today and hope to pour the walls end of week.

A few updates , floor is poured , the stand is taking shape and some hi tech tools.

Yes it will be a blown forge . I am flowing Ed's design

Very nice kitchen cutter

Well it looks like floors only , I am thinking of building a forge similar to Ed's build with an excess air burner . I will be headed to the scrap yard for the shell material and shopping for some Mizzou for casting the liner.

I am going to build a new forge and wanted to ask if anyone has used Empire fire brick in forge construction. I have an abundance of these brick measuring 9x4 1/2x18 . we used them in our pottery kilns as floor brick , they were made by AP Green and have a 3000 degree rating. They are very tough.

I will sand a bit and put a little water on it to show the great figuring. If a couple of you guys want to try some let me know as I have plenty.
