where to put my shop

[longhair51]

I have my anvil ordered, my forge is almost finished, and I am going to start building my grinder. The problem is, I don't know where I am going to put it all. I spent the money that was going to build a shed on the equipment to fill the shed.
The only place that I can put my shop, for the time being, is my garage. Normally that would not be a problem, but my house is a three level split and I am worried about the heat from the forge heating the rooms above during the summer.
Any opinions?

I'm sure that the fire department would have something to say about that.

Unless you have a really large shop, the forge should go outside anyway. It gets way to hot for a small area. The carbon monoxide also requires it to be outside unless you take extra precautions for that.

Build it on a rolling cart and push it out into the driveway or back yard and work out there.

My forge is in my condo garage. I put it right at the threshold of the garage door and it still gets very hot in the garage. It can make a winter day feel like summer. I also run a big fan to get some fresh air in the garage. If you can, follow Bob's advice and take the forge outside.

I think that I will hold off until I can build a shed.
Thanks
