I was a meat cutter for 25 years and have a love affair with knives, (what guy doesn't!) and am addicted to "Forged in Fire". I have collected 40 to 50 lbs. of railroad spikes. This would be great to start learning the craft

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

I really am impressed with this particular unit 😊 And for the price I don't think anything else is going to compare .

[@garethbaus5471]

Railroad spikes are good practice, but they don't make the best knives (the steel barely hardens)

[@jerryjordan1448]

How did you go about collecting railroad spikes?

[@maverick5006]

@@jerryjordan1448 I live in an area where the Philly passenger train used to stop here in Quakertown, PA and continue to Allentown. The rail system hasn't been used for 40 years, so I walked the tracks and just started to pick them up. Also found a piece of rail about 30" long. Great for hammering on!!

They used to sell it with a differently designed valve assembly, and the wire braided hose. I have that one - unfortunately when I went to fire it up the other day, I did the soapy water spray bottle test on it and the coupling at the regulator with the hose was bubbling away. Promptly turned it off and emailed Mr. Volcano up with photos. They asked for my address and are sending a replacement hose and regulator. Probably be the current rubber one that they sell, but great customer service!

That's good to know! Thank you for watching

Damn I have the same issue with the same hose/regulator. Going to have to contact them as well

[@AaronTWas]

They’ll send you a new one. The one that they sent as a replacement even had the same issue as well, and they sent yet another one when I contacted them again. The third one doesn’t have the issue, but I could see eventually buying a premium third party option for the hose and regulator. Again though, really great customer service!

These things even get hot enough to weld. They really did their homework on these forges. A couple extra fire bricks and some stainless hardware and the things are nearly perfect.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Forge welding in one is next on my to-do list 😊

[@jeffreymiller9706]

Yes it does...just did my 1st 2 layer forge weld last weekend.

[@ryandavis4689]

Yeah the only issue that I found with them is a refractory could be thicker which you would want to make the forge a bit thicker to accommodate, so like you can get about a quarter inch of refractory on it but you want at least about a half inch in ideal situation. The one other thing is a burner could be moved up more center of that plate instead of at the bottom of that plate, the reason why they did that is so that the flame hits and wraps around and creates like a vortex but when you put the brick in the bottom it disrupts that vortex so if they were to lift the burner up about halfway or so it would efficiently make that vortex because the flame would be hitting the brick and not the edge of the brick if that makes any sense, maybe one day they'll revise it but the forge is good enough for the price and in fact it's very very good for the price

It is, what it is. Be good for a hobbyist starting out. I would recommend a better regulator in the 0-30 psi range, for better heat control. Thanks for the review, I'm sure it will be a good entry level gas forge for many people wanting to try their hand at forging metal.

Good review, and I am really glad you brought up the spot welded burner collars. I have the double burner model, and while it works fine, the collars both broke loose after just a few months and had to be rewelded down. That was really frustrating. A couple bolts before I had put it all together would have been exactly the thing as you recommend, as it was a lot harder to do with a constructed and used forge.

Honest question, and I'm sorry if you've gotten this question before, but I've only had experience with a coal forge for blade smithing, and I'm interested in trying my hand at forge welding, which I have not been able to do with much success. I recently messed around with some firebrick and a propane torch, and was able to get a weak forge weld on some single edge razor blades, and that made me thirsty for more. I just got some birthday funds and I'm considering buying one of these forges. Do you think the single burner will be hot enough to forge weld successfully, or would the two burner model be a better choice for me? I plan on forging blades that are 3" all the way up to about 20". Please advise if I'm being too ambitious. Love the channel, and God Bless.

[@jeffreyjones6409]

Picked up one of them as well. Still getting it put together but with any luck hope to have it going soon. I think they may have messed up on mine though as the regulator I got with it is for a 2 burner forge. No big deal as I have been building my own gas forges for a number of years now so I will just use one of the regulators I already have and will save this for a 2 burner that I have in the works. I do know what you mean about the price of gas forges "back in the day". That is what started me building my own.

Thank you for this video. I built a forge similar to the small one you built with no firepot for taking with you a few years ago. it works great for me. mine's powered with a hair dryer. I've even made a few forge welds with it. I sell a lot of hooks and things on etsy. Do you think that I would be able to increase production using this gas forge and if so would the increase in production be more than enough to pay for the additional cost of the propane.Thank you so much for all you do, I'm looking forward to building one of your power hammers. You really are a blessing Roy.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Nicholas yes it will increase production at a fair cost to production ratio if you are mindful of the amount of pressure your running things At. If you go full blast it's going to get hot quick but also suck the gas.. if you run low pressure It will take longer time to heat but sip your gas. It's always a balance And it's up to you to decide 🙂

In contrast to some of the people making comments, I actually have one of these forges and feel I can make an accurate assessment of its usefulness. In my humble opinion, this little forge is GREAT! I have been using mine several times a week for a couple months now and I have not had any problems with it. Obviously, it is not very large so I use mine to make J-hooks, S-hooks, tomahawk heads, belt buckles, etc. It easily gets hot enough to forge weld. If you're making bigger stuff this is not going to work. For the average hobbyist blacksmith, this thing will do what you need AND do it for under $100!

compared to the time to source materials and parts and fabricate a burner and shell (body?), $80+ is very affordable.
