    Cool Forge

    Hey guy's, check out my Diy Forge. Built from mostly recycled materials. Works great. Check out my youtube channel for more of my content. Cheers Roman from Budget Built.

    A good use for worn brake rotors. If you fitted a cheap (Au$20) PWM controller you could vary the speed of the hair dryer and thereby the heat output and also save on briquette consumption. And to save looking for a base the other rotor (of the pair) could be reused as the base as they're usually discarded.

    Cheers for the idea I'll definitely look into it. I found all the bits before I'd decided to build the Forge. But cheers anyway. I'm planning on hinging the other rotor so it can be flipped back when not needed. Also a better way of catching the ash, and some wheels to move it better. Cheers Roman
