Spent the day putting together the new stand for forge work. It was made from some scrap pine as well as two wheels I bought earlier in the week. Anyway, fairly basic construction. I removed the legs from the forge and blower and put them on the stand. Here is a picture of how it looks at the moment.
I still need to pick up new vent work for the blower to forge connection. I will be adding a bit more to it but the form is pretty much done.
So, I took it for a test drive and its very cool. It is very easy to move around to where I need it. Also, I added some height to the forge so I'm not bending over anymore. The blower is also much more stable. I'm very happy with the results.
My only concern is possible burn damage to certain spots that are close to the fire pot. If it becomes an issue, I can add a bit of insulation.
Overall I am very happy with it and look forward to using it.
