I have a thread for my CNC work but I have been making a forge also as a medium sized job has fell into my lap.

I plan to use my CNC to carve the parts in wood then use those wood parts for my negative in some nice Petro-Bond sand and pour mainly ally.

I have been to sevral sites and even founf a gent just up north of me to help guide me along this new path. He has forge lke the one I am buying. Go to http://www.artfulbodgermetalcasting.com/ and get his book!

This forge will run mostly off waste vegetable oil and waste motor oil with diesel gasoline added on cold days.

Well I will try to get the pics rolling now....
