This side blast forge has been waiting to be built by Glenn Horr. After 35 plus years of use, the old one has been retired. For More Information, Email Glenn |
Glenn’s side blast forge has the advantage of not getting plugged by clinker because the tuyere is right in the fire and is water cooled. Needless to say, the draw is great and will last quite a while with his expert engineering! |
This bellows was built by Benn Rendos, Dennis Murray (Murph), and Jeff Boling with help from Rick Sanguigni and Eddie Mack. This project was created to fit an existing carriage frame. The book by Robert Heath on the subject of building bellows provided the guidance. Dennis Murray and Benn Rendos are seen in this photo of the well crafted forge.
Walt Frank sends this in: "One of my
downtime projects, partially completed. I fabricated a more modern rail for my
daughter and her family over the break. Still have to replace the wall rail and
build the gate from stainless. More to come as I finish them!

John and Kathy Klingler's Pandemic Project is to build a timber frame
woodshed on their 4 acres, to go with their log home.
Update! Check out the finished job!!! All timbers were sawn at their neighbor's sawmill, using locally harvested oak and hickory. Here's Kathy chiseling tenon joints. Below are shots of John making final framing adjustments, and a 'Rain Delay'. They are totally enjoying working on this project, and learning new skills! |
