Tool Spotlight - Propane Forge

To help with bending and forming metal parts, I built a forge from steel bars, fire bricks, and a 45,000 BTU propane burner from a turkey fryer. First, we laid out the fire bricks in a square and built a base from angle iron.






The next step was to attach legs to the sides of the base, also made from angle iron.



Finally, we added flat steel bars to the top to keep the upper bricks steady, added a loop to support the burner, and assembled the forge.
