When I was a kid, my dad fired his forge with douglas fir bark. He told me that they couldn't get coal during the war so they used what they had. Through trial and error, they found that Doug fir bark worked best. My dad also said that after the war, he never saw a need to go back to using coal. It was my job to break the bark up into small enough pieces for him to use.

I'll support American made any day of the week. Bought one and didn't really need it. Strong work family and thanks Cody for sharing.

I want one also.  The price is affordable for the common man.  I would like to see some of that young lady's workmanship.  A daughter like that should make any father proud.  Thanks for sharing.

This is nothing new but I love this family and hope they do well

What a great way to get folks back into a great trade!

[paulorchard]

I use the Zomax blower on my charcoal forge and have no problems with it or getting welding heat! I would highly recommend them!

[wanderingrose]

Great story behind this family business. Fantastic to see people keeping these traditional skills alive. Thanks for sharing.

Another amazing yet simple solution to modern alternatives where did we go wrong? allowing ourselves into accepting the consumer lifestyle without questioning it

Solar panels
Water wheels
Wood forge
Water ram pumps
Wind turbines
the list goes on and on and on

Nice vid Cody!

I had ancestors who did this.  I liked seeing it.

[corensam]

Wow! She looks very strong! Those forges look awesome

Good to know I'm not the only one to use scrap wood from the shop for the forge. I have always used just wood and it has always worked just fine for me. Although people have told me it won't work and I have to use coal. As far as getting hoe enough.... I have to still be careful when i'm heat treating so I don't melt the edges off, I'm not sure how much hotter its supposed to be.

[droberts]

She is awesome! My son and I are working towards this as well.

Great video!  I want one.  I was planning on making my own at some point but I think for the price this will be much better and its made in America.

[raybartlett]

Thanks for sharing this. I have done some heat treating for knife making, and very much enjoyed it! Never thought black smiting would be an attainable hobby, but this gives the idea some hope.

I especiallty enjoy your blacksmithing and lumberjack videos. It just happens that my grandfather was a blacksmith, but unfortunately he died when I was 10 years old. How great it would be to learn all the tricks and skills that he learned over several decades. Since I am a pharmacist I was facinated with your Zomax blower. Zomax is also the name of an antibiotic.

I made a forge out of an old cast iron sink. I can use wood or charcoal (made from wood) in it. I use a hairdryer as a blower. It works quite well.

[wiscokiddd]

I do quite a bit of machining and welding. I melted aluminum cans with wood with a little foundry I was working on but not too successful. So yes I have been interested in blacksmithing. But after watching this video, none of that matters, now I'm in love with Corie :)

[karsonbranham]

That is neat. Good interview Cody! I was ar a father/son campout this weekend, and lit a swedish candle of a chunk of fir i brought. As it burnt, about 15-20 min in, i was noticing the incredible heat it was generating. I took a set of fire tongs in the center of the candle (hand split into quarters) from the gap in one of the sides. After about 5 min i pulled the tongs out, which were made of 1/2" barstock. They were cherry red after 5 min. No fan, no blower. Pretty amazing. I am going to try it agsin on purpose. I will let you know the result

[LarsRibe]

That young woman is 100% cool! I hope she and her dad get a buisness going and one day start making their own blowers. Awesome.

[MusicoLogic]

Wow this forge just sold me. It answers all the dilemmas that kept me from starting my forge.
We both have are day jobs and two children do raise. I couldn't find a decent way not to drag the family logistics into going with a coal or propane forge.
But this for is a game changer.

Thank you for this post!
