So very impressed with the workmanship here; mind is full of inspiration. Keep the pictures coming.
Don't be too impressed, Rob uses a special camera that makes all his work look good
(Just kidding Rob

weather's turning cold is a good enough reason to fire up the forge to heat the shop up
Wondering if this project got moved to the dark corner of the shop????
DA

hmmm - Rob, John, Mick and Bob have been a little quiet of late. Either someone jumped them for getting all the good stuff at the local car boot sales or they are in the pub...

Hi Dallen and Darren ,
I wanted to be allot further along with this project , as Dallen mentioned forging is a good winter sport and my plan was it have the forge set-up ready for my winter break from work , that still maybe possible , its just I have been flat out at work at the moment and in the spare time I have had all I can be arsed to do is read about forging lol .

Excellent - far better with a TEFC motor - it might last more than a few days now :)
BTW the space you have will ALWAYS be filled to busting however much there is !
RE: Coke Forge Build - doubleboost - 10-26-2014

We will have to see the lads about some stainless pipe & bends

Well done Rob.
What's the black thing on top of the motor? A place for all of the electrical connections possibly?
