Great video
But your neighbor is going to be mad when he sees that you dug a hole in his yard 😂

The cold air switch is pretty important lol 😂 I have burned one up because I was too busy thought’in instead of thinking.... excitement will get the best of anyone

Great to see videos for people getting into the craft. Simple, cheep, effective.

The hair dryer I use on "iron eater", has a momentary cold switch. Easy fix, 2-3 wraps with electrical tape. Good show TingTing👍⚒️

Great advice to get someone started that he only $20/$30 to start man. Well done ⚒

This is basically the same principle i use when forging outside, the main difference with my forge is i have used sand on a old steel school desk to get it up off the ground as i find kneeling down a bit hard on the knees these days, like you said ting, just use what you have

Videos are getting a LOT better, man. I think this one is my favorite from you so far.

You can also take some boards and build a wooden box to fill with some dirt and cover with some clay to make your dirtbox forge JT from Drasons forge has done this and they work great

The cold air switch is awesome, i also have one on my blower, runs cheap af😁

LOL my first Forge was in East Texas in sandy soil and a weed burner

Apart from the hair drier and pipe this is iron age technology but a good video, explains just how easy it is to forge if you are keen to try and don’t mind a bit of work to go forward! Thanks, I enjoyed watching.

[hightowerone]

First one I built was the ole car rim, yes rim, in a barbeque grill. It was just awful! Did work tho!!!

[josephhagood]

Dumb question. Can you have too much air... I'm guessing it just gets hotter with more air. I used a shop vac before in my in ground forge and almost had mild steel dripping
