Kviljo:
You could just put some bolts into the holes, or place a metal plate inside the brake drum.
I bet a regular cheap grill won't be able to withstand the heat, but a ceramic pot would perhaps. Though I bet there's a reason nobody uses them :)
SimonUK:
Thanks Kviljo. I'm off to the scrap yard at the weekend to see what I can find. Hows that number 16 going?
Kviljo:
Good :)
I haven't tried since that last one, just need to regenerate my hand first.
duffontap:
I'm racking my brain trying to think of a forge material to use. Could you just make one out of brick and mortar? Would a 1' x 1' box 6" deep be a good size? I might try that if none of you can think of a reason why it wouldn't work.

Oh yea! I remember. The borax acts as a flux to remove scale so you get molten metal to molten metal. Dang. I have to try this. I've been interested for 30 years but never pursued it. ::) Pat
