The BEST DIY Forge On The Market

[@davidschwartz5127]

One thought about your modification of the sliding door vs the hinged doors on gas-fired industrial-type furnaces. The sliding door was also designed to easily swing up and let the pressure wave pass and then reclose minimizing the amount of flame and debris in case of an accidental explosion within the combustion chamber and minimizing damage to people and equipment. Keep this in mind in your design.

All of Brian's kits and accessories are incredibly well designed. I love my Revolution 2X72 grinder built from his kit!

I've been eyeing this forge for some time now. Brian is making some great products.

[@FarmsteadForge]

That looks like a really nice DIY forge kit! Thanks for the video.

Thanks for sharing Chris! Brian has done a great job with the Apollo forge! While its a bit pricey, its a "buy once, cry once" setup. You hit on this, but just to emphasize, the efficiency of the ribbon burner compared to the normal venturi burners that come with other propane forges is night and day. If running the forge daily, the savings from less propane usage definitely offsets the initial purchase cost. Looking forward to seeing what you make using it!

Awesome stuff Chris! 😃👍🏼👊🏼

Congrats

This is on my wish list. My only concern is about how quickly it will drain my EcoFlow Delta as that’s the only power in my smithy.

[@MakeEverything]

It’s a great unit and I don’t think the blower uses too much power, if you were worried you could buy just the blower and plug it into your ecoflow to see how long it’ll run.

What's the milwaukee tool you're using? Forge looks badass.

I think you would have been better served to put the hinges on the closed side, and left the slider. You could close the door almost all the way, as when you heated that long 1 " bar? No?

[@Raul28153]

you have a different oven for heat treat?

[@MakeEverything]

This is a propane forge for blacksmithing, when I hear treat I use an electric oven with a digital controller

[@irritantno9]

Is it possible to order it without the h⚡️m logo?

[@judweaver3635]

If not, just sand it off.

[@Hawk7886]

​@@judweaver3635it's cut into the piece. You could weld it up and grind it flush, though.

[@DracoOmnia]

It's on the otherside of fire brick so you could just fill it with almost anything if you dislike it so much

[@ZenithClarity]

So this kit cost 800.00?

[@frigginpos]

You can buy better, you just won't pay more! Expensive as hell.

[@DracoOmnia]

What's better that costs less, you'd be doing a lot of us a favor by sharing your knowledge

[@DracoOmnia]

My point remains...
