Coke Forge Build

[RobWilson]

Hi there tackit , I am sure your forge will be just as capable as mine . Have you had much forge time?

Made four stepped washers tonight form a bit 2" dia stainless bar .



These will allow the fire pot to float ,thermal expansion/contraction .






Cheers for looking ,Rob

A wee bit more done tonight ,drilled the fixing holes in the flange and welded the flange to the fire pot .



Next up I tacked up the top flange .



And then tacked that into position on the fire pot.





This was then fully welded both sides ,well almost welded overheat tripped with about 4" left to weld .




Also the Russian Lad on Ebay has let me down with the depleted Uranium sheet , so it looks like mild steel will have to do


Cheers Rob
