The first book from David J. Gingery Publishing not written by Dave or Vince Gingery, it only takes a quick glance at this to see why Vince was keen to publish it. Not only does this propane fired forge look good, it is ergonomically designed and extremely efficient - it will reach 2500 degrees in 2.5 mins from a cold start, and reduce a bottle to molten glass in 25 seconds. No fan or blower are needed, so there are no electrical connections. The oven has large openings at either end, so multiple jobs can be done at the same time, or one long piece can be worked on. And the opening means that this unit can also be used to melt aluminium and other metals, so it can be used for foundrywork. It is also straightforward to build - it is made from heavy gauge steel, so a metal cutting saw and a welder are needed, but they are the only major equipment you require. A great, and useful, project. 72 page paperback with 91 drawings and illustrations.
