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 .

You live in the UK Rob - It is winter for 11 months of the year!

Well I decided to fit a better ,or should I say more suitable electric motor to the blower . I did have to make a new motor mount .




and back together for a test .





Now were to mount the thing ??? I want /need to keep the forge compact ,within its own foot print .OH how I wish I had a shop as big as some of you lads have . 





A bit creative pipe work needed  


Cheers for looking ,Rob

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 !

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?
