Cheers Lads  Smiley-eatdrink004 , its good to see there is some interest in my messing about  Rotfl Rotfl 

 Well I made some progress with the ash dump flap today  .


I reused the material from the not so good flap , yes I could just cut a new bit but why waste materials .

Bent up a handle from 20mm bar  ,two actually did not like the first design . 


Bobs bending pins (made about 20 years ago )

Rob,

Nice welds. What type of welder did you use on the ash flap pieces?

Hi Ed 

I used my old MIG with 0.6mm mild steel wire ,I nearly swapped the real for SS but decided it was not worth it for a few welds and its just forge at the end of the day .

RE: Coke Forge Build - RobWilson - 11-17-2015

Well today did not go to plan , I was planning on doing the hood today but it has rained hard all day , I have to cut the 8x4 sheet up outside . 


So I stripped the forge and cleaned up the stand ,finished the welding and removed the weld splatter .
