It's taking me longer than I had hoped, thanks to the start of the school year and the associated expenses, but I'm getting there. A while back I posted pics of the rail track anvil I'll be starting with along with a sneak peak of the forge. Here's the forge now. All it needs is a few bolts and the blower attachment.

I have a brick for the floor. The coating is "bubble aluminum" which was less expensive than ITC-100 and is supposed to be as good or better. We'll see when I fire it up.
I just need time to get the blower assembly done and attached and I'll be ready to start hitting stuff. :D

Lookin good.
Looking good Rusty. Good to see your still plugging along with it.

Looks good Rusty! I'm anxious for you to fire it up!
Did you coat the insulation with anything... I.E refractory cement? For safty sake.

Steve - the insulation is ceramic wool that I covered with bubble aluminum. The specs rated it up there with ITC 100 for heat rating and flux resistance but at a lower cost. I have a hard brick for the bottom as well.
Hoping to get the blower done this weekend or next week so I should be firing it up soon. :)
