Fastest and easiest way to make forge

[@peteknill4200]

Great build!!! I love this idea. As far as the welding is concerned, I have been welding for thirty years, it is my occupation , for your application, if it works, then you are a master!!!!

[@coiffeurnick2358]

I watched a dude that made one by digging out a spot in the ground, had bricks and charcoal and made a knife with rebarb, a regular hammer and a $20 anvil

[@santiagoperez2094]

No anvil needed, just an old log and solved!

[@shawnacain5926]

The one I watched. He bought a $13 anvil from harbor frieght

I don’t give a crap about his welding technique. I can’t do any of this stuff so I’m impressed. Cool video.

DaB thats cool mate. Welders just like to bitch.

[@XxAfroCoreBassxX]

I gotta step up my tool collecting game.

[@savagemike9967]

if you call being proud of our structurally sound welds then yes i guess we bitch

[@CrossroadToCountry]

Lol because this might fall and hurt someone hehe.

[@JustinTopp]

Welders hate on everyone for bad welds. Half the time it’s just not a pretty weld but it’s a functional weld. Not all of us went to school to become a welder and have to practice all the time. And welds on things like this don’t need to be perfect

[@lordcuddlebuttz3336]

great video bud! if your having problems with your stick welding try turning up the amps, also drag the tip of your electrode on the ground a few times if it’s still sticking to the steel, or you can collect some grinder disc shavings on the ground with a magnet and dip the tip of your electrode in them and that helps too! dirty old welder trick haha

[@JuanSumChninezeFue]

I appreciate that this guy put his video on x2 speed for us. Thumbs up!

[@icecreamachine1473]

Too long, had to bump it to 4x

[@griffingames1]

This truly made me smile. Watching you weld in high speed, I smiled the whole time. Great video though and good idea you got there.

[@jhomer1122]

Gotta love all the safety and welding critics these days. Anyhow, I LOVE that you built something awesome using the most basic tools and supplies. So many people overthink things and never get anything done.

[@kenjett2434]

Great little forge well built quick and easy. But you wont get the high heat you need without a simple improvement. You need to add forced air to your air intake with a valve to control the flow. A shop vac works great for that. you may also need to be able to increase or decrease your gas flow into the mix chamber. By doing this you can reach temperature hot enough to melt steel in excess of 3,000 degrees. It would be a simple addition to what you already have.

[@A2_the_K]

Nice job! Some people want to talk crap while they sit on their couch in their pajamas eating cereal, while the real men are outside making useful things out of nothing. Great job, great video.

[@jamesw9930]

SO glad to see I'm not the only one welding in shorts in the driveway, lol. Carry on!

[@BarryBollox.]

I do a bit of welding and i can produce nice beads if i need to. For example a trailer or anything under stress or weight that needs to be welded carefully and correctly. For a Forge like this... A few rough tacks will do so stop trying to give the guy a lesson in welding when its not needed. Would you clean your sewers in a wedding suit? Would you prepare a gourmet meal for your lunch break at work? Great vid it gave me some ideas for myself. Thanks

[@JustinTopp]

I’m so glad I have a wire fed welder :)

[@Wedelj]

I like how your welding segment starting at 1:09 is backwards :)

[@speedsterwinston]

I admit I was laughing my ass off at the welds but I give the guy props for building something that works.

[@BTPPaintBallTeam]

At least we have the same welding skills lol I have never been good with arc. Just started ordering some pieces to start building my first forge cant wait for my arms to be shot from hammering all weekend

[@xzenitramx666]

Is this is the easy way I want to see the hard one

[@Sate_Padang_Rp20.000]

Haha madlad

[@gearsgonemad]

This would be the easiest way for me but I work in a machine shop and have access to a plasma cutter and welder Ann's the steel angle so I'm pretty set this project would probably take me less time than it did him because I won't have to do any grinding

[@6lr6ak6]

Was to fast no description of gas burner

[@nlund2081]

Great vid. Pretty much 2 commets, 1 learn to weld, 2 grinder can blow up. Keep doing you bro

[@alexanderburtonlinn3250]

Everything in this is so satisfying

[@k3ith29]

Kinda looks like you could use an old bed frame for this. Awsome.

[@shadowcastre]

Nice! Add some forced air to your air inlet and you have a blown burner. It will heat up faster and reach welding temps all while using less fuel. Thanks for the video..

[@woodywes4093]

shadowcastre "how to" available?

[@camillesennegon]

Great forge ! When your electrods stick like this you just have to increase your amps 😉

[@NKG416]

thanks for the tip man!

[@camillesennegon]

I'm Bored no problem 😉

[@wjspade]

It also helps to clean all of your workpieces up with a grinder before welding. You should never weld on rusty or painted metal. Bare metal carries a better current.

[@camillesennegon]

wjspade yes it make an enormous difference!

[@Intimidator82]

Spit works on an electrode too. It will help with the intial conductivity to get it going without sticking.

[@olivermilutinovic749]

Great build Marek

[@gregkral4467]

higher amps, about 75-80 for 3/32 7018 is good. Great little forge man.

[@krisherbst6162]

Really? I'm in welding school now and they have us on more like 85 - 95 at all times with 7018 or else it fuzes. Around 75 is for 6010 rods

[@savagemike9967]

Kris you are correct sir im also in school and also a fabricator and 7018 is more like 85+

[@Ananias03]

hey bro nice build. little tip to improve your welding. noticed yo have issue getting initial spark. 2 things can help, go hotter on the welder up on amps and take a grinder to the areas you want to weld. scuff em up a little. and as always pull dont push. i am gonna try this design myself thanks for the instruction.

[@hamidr11]

Fantastic production 👍🏼 Amazing Video

[@tommywright8369]

Nice job bro. Just remember to drag your stick. Don't push it.

[@akramhossain458]

Is it using LPG gas?What bricks are made of materials

[@mickboubou6567]

Hello friend, I see that you have a lot of trouble with your welding post, it's normal, clean the area well or you must weld and you'll see that your electrode will start immediately and your weld will be much more beautiful and resistant, the cleaning is 90% of the weld success =)

[@l.merbecks8144]

[@thuglincoln7699]

Using a cutoff disc with no guard - bold move! I've had them shits explode on me and throw shrapnel into a face guard i was wearing.

[@Marc030320]

This is most common when they get "loaded" by softer metal. Had a 6 inch wheel explode in a shop once because some dysfunctional person cut some aluminum with it - and the next person used it for what it was for, steel. They, of course can explode because of other reasons (to much pressure). But this is the most common cause of failure. Also welding with a t-shirt for me is a no no... I guess I'm just to pale skinned to take the sun burn that results. I did 16 tack welds with shorts on once... once.

[@joshuahall4445]

Grinders scare the hell out of me

[@phantaztik1223]

[@samueltorresiii2698]

I never use a guard lol

[@gabeutsecks5427]

I don't wear a face shield or use a guard... they explode and the shrapnel isn't too bad... mainly because I use a variac to control the power.

[@zodinsangachawngthu3099]

Wow... Nice job, i love it

[@littledude710]

a lot of negative comments. seems like people are butt hurt that you own a welder.... great video. love the concept. weld a frame around some hi-temp bricks. in my mind this was quick n easy. no measuring or fuck all. line it up and zip cut "close enough" tack her together. people tend to over complicate things. great job. keep it up.

[@Porkkanakorvassa]

Supporting rod with other hand helps a lot. Also, you should pull rod, if you push it, then slack gets under the weld.

I know a faster way, just did it today because my woodstove forge decided to lose a leg. dig a 12"Dx10"Wx10"L hole, bricks on the bottom, bricks on 3 sides (walls) and a 12"x12"x2" cement paver for the top, leave a hole on corner, insert the propane difuser tube from an old portable grill, attach a tank (use a hose for extra distance) cover the bricks and cement paver with dirt from making the hole, and there you go
