Home made forge/furnace help please

[BILLy]

Hi All,
I have been trawling the net/bush craft forums/you tube. for some ideas on making a home made forge, i want to try my hand at it, nothing supa dupa just the odd knife/fire irons/flint striker/etc.
I am fairly handy at making things up out of scrap/junk/car boot items..etc
So what i am after is some more pics/info/links/vids on how i can put together a small set up that i can have a go at in my back yard.
If I can do it at minimal cost it makes it all the more worth it.
Thanks in advance for your kind help
Cheers
Bill

Google or search the forum for bucket forge. It doesn't get any simpler than that.

Bill , Give Chris (Lannyman on here) a shout.
I'm sure I remember several home made forges from him over the last few years using
Landrover wheels and then Ammo boxes or maybe a propane cylinder!
hope this helps.
Simon

I've built loads of quick and dirty forges from materials ranging from a hole in the ground to gas bottles, paving slabs, brake drums, BBQs and the like. In my workshop I have some more specialised (still home built) forges that are welded from sheet metal and have ash dumps, slide gates and adjustable grates. For teaching groups I've got (or had) several variations of piles of clay and wood with bellows of different types.

If you are going to the Moot maybe stop by the forge I'll be there with and have a chat

I saw this little treadle powered forge the other day, it was made from odds 'n' ends.
