Step 3: Firing
For the firing process, refer to the directions on the bucket of furnace cement, Mine said to gradually increase heat, allowing it to cure to a solid mass, then full firing may
follow. I used started a fire of wood shavings and newspaper. Then I used a propane roofing torch speed up the full firing, inside and out, allowing it to harden. I then set
the blow drier on the ground with the end in the pipe and prepared to test out my forge.

Step 6:
After having the privilege to attend a class on iron pouring, which branched out into blacksmithing as well, I decided to start working on it again. Som time ago i had
picked up a truck tire rim thinking it would make a great forge, I was right, it works great.. i had manufactured a blower with a sewing machine motor and pedal for airflow
control. I used mainly old crap i had lying around, so i wont go into the details of how i mad it right now, but if there is intrest i can post some of the baisic ideas of what i
did and the mistakes i made.
Anyways, here are some pics of the forge proper, more to come including in use.

Very good work, jadronx! I suggest you to add an air flow regulator. That will be an enhance, and is very easy to do.

Thank you I was actually thinking about doing that as I was using it today.
