Nothing Darren lol , I just need to weld some feet on, finish the air control valve and give it a good wire brush and dettol so I can chuck a bit paint at it
Then I need to make a start on the hood/extractor doodad . Rob

What are you thinking of for a hood?
I need to get one built, from what I read the side draft ones seam to work better than a full over hood.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

Missed the post with the fire. Congratulations.
Have heard of coating the bottom of the forge with clay to protect the metal, just potters clay from what I gathered. May try it on my cast iron one.

Hi Greg , Side drafts are the way to go ,BUT I dont have the hight to get a good draught going , well I don't want 8 foot + of stack sticking out of my workshop roof . So I will be going for and over hood with and extractor fan sucking the fumes out (using smokeless fuel) and venting sideways into the garden . I was thinking about lining the forge ,but being all steel and free to float I could see it just cracking off ,so I just plan on leaving it as is . I can see you would need to be mindful of stray sparks/embers where you live , those pine needles would go up a treat . I just have to worry about setting the neighbours washing line on fire lol Rob
