The Forge is currently owned by Adrianna and is on lone to the Hot Metals Area along with the following blacksmithing equipment:

Anvil Standing Vice Sledge Hammer


How to get certified

Adrianna (owner) or Tom Judge (Hot metals area host) can certify you. The following will be covered in the certification:

How to light and turn off the forge.
  • To turn on go from "fuel to flame"
  1. Connect your propane tank.
  2. Make sure the cutoff switch on top of the burner is turned to off.
  3. Brick up the back and place front brick into the arms on the front of the forge.
  4. Open up the fuel tank completely.
  5. Open up the regulator (green knob near the propane tank end of the fuel line).
  6. Open up the air mix washer to allow more air in.
  7. Have your light lit and ready to go at the side of the forge (also recommend to stand to the side of the forge when lighting).
  8. Slowly open the cutoff.
  9. Once the burner ignites, open the cutoff all the way open.
  10. Run the forge high for a few minutes to warm it up. Then you can close down the air mix to the point where you have a strong torch going (if you have flames rolling up out of the forge you have choked the torch- open up the air mix a little more)
  • To turn off go from "flame to fuel"
  1. Turn the cutoff switch to off.
  2. Close the tank all the way.
  3. Bleed the line by opening the cutoff switch (be careful as a small flame will pop out the air mix washer) until it is empty.
  4. Disconnect your tank and plug the hose into the Hot Metal Area tank (the hose must never be left unplugged in).

Important Information Regarding the Forge

  1. Carbon Steel ONLY! No other material can be placed in the forge.
  2. NO galvanized, painted, or otherwise coated steel in the forge.
  3. NEVER use borax or any other type of flux in the forge. You will ruin the bottom of the forge.
  4. Do NOT turn the forge up too high - just turn it up high enough for the work you need to do. NO forge welding temperatures.
  5. Do NOT poke the sides or back of the forge with your piece. The back hole is slightly higher than the bottom firebrick - please gently place your piece in and then rest it down on the bottom of the forge.
  6. Make sure the fuel line is NEVER touching the side of the forge.
  7. If the torch is sputtering there is something wrong. Try to give it a little more air and more fuel. If that doesn't work, you might be low on fuel. If it continues sputtering turn it off and alert the Area Host.
  8. Always assume the forge, any nearby tools, and the surrounding area is hot.

Helpful Hints

  1. Directly under the torch is the hottest place in the forge - if you want something heated fast, place it there.
  2. Your steel will be as hot as it can be when it nearly matches the color of the forge around it.
  3. Try not to leave tools next to the forge when it is on - they will get very hot.
  4. Keep your tools cool by quenching often.
  5. Try to use the least amount of air mix you can while not choking the torch.
  6. If you have a question or something seems off - contact the area host or Adrianna.
