Coffee Can Forge
« on: June 23, 2015, 02:32:01 AM »
Spotted this on YouTube. Thought it may be of interest to someone wanting to build a small inexpensive forge. There are two videos actually, a small forge then a larger one. The first video shows him making the smaller forge and how he built his burner.



The second video, making a "Trashcan Forge," the larger one, he has refined his liner mixture materials and improved his burner, which looks way better than the one he built for the coffee can forge:



I think the burner build and the liner mixture are the most important things to take away here. One could use that information to build something a bit more functionable and that utilizes the fuel more efficiently than having both ends open which is the only fault I see.

Very cool.  I wonder if there would be some way to add a temperature probe that wouldn't cost a fortune.
