Tharwa Valley Forge Gallery


Gas forge making tutorial

Here's a tutorial on how to make a propane gas forge out of bits and pieces. There are lots of ways to make a forge, this one suits my needs. It can be made with a single opening or a double opening for long pieces.

Please be careful as working with gas can be dangerous and possibly fatal. I accept no liability for any injury which may occur by you following these pictures. They are intended for you information.
