Alright! The shell of the new forge is up and in place. I need to bring in a little more gravel and compact it. These is a slump right where my anvil is going that fills with an inch of water during a heavy or prolonged rain. That can’t happen. Next step after that and put the ends on, add doors, and install some lighting. 120 square feet of fire and steel!! I hope to be lighting the first fire in early November.
Really happy to have a permanent place to swing my hammer and stoked that I won’t have to drag the forge, anvil, and vise in and out of the garage. Forging under a pop-up canopy super sucks!
The frame is up and together and this is the progress from day 1.
Building single handedly – not because I want to. As it comes together, I get more and more excited about the possibilities for the space and am already making plans for forge projects.
