With the castable here in the shop, its now time to build the forms, get everything in place, and get this forge one step closer to completion.

Had to weld the burner holder in place.....Used some sch 80 pipe, then drilled and tapped three 1/2-13 holes located approx. 120 degrees apart...





Next I built the forms. 10" diameter concrete from tube from Home Depot. 19" piece, split down each side. I used some 1/4" plywood ($5 for a 1/2 sheet at Home Depot), and cut 6" wide X 24" (just because it was that size) pieces to fill in the rest of the form.



I used duct tape to put the form together....hopefully that will make it easier to get the forms out once the castable cures enough...
