GruffaloGriff 1,851 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 I built a forge that runs on waste oil. Good for forge welding and heavy work where you need a lot of heat and going to run it for a few hours because the fuel is FREE. It takes 20miniutes or so to get it up to heat and running clean so not so good for quick jobs. P1090462 by Terry Griffiths, on Flickr 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Rock 507 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Mine is an old bbq, coke fuelled and a bouncy castle blower to add the air, melts steel in seconds if I am not watching... 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
