I started this project last fall, and had built most of the structure, but the weather got too cold and wet to continue applying the refractory cement inside the forge.  Well, I finally got around to it the other day, finished the refractory cementing, and some side structure layout, and fired it up to set the cement!  Yay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only problem I&#8217;ve run across is the power outlet on the porch has gone off, and needs to be replaced.  The circuit breaker is good, but no power comes out from the sockets.  I think the GFCI outlet&#8217;s internal breaker is stuck,  and won&#8217;t reset.  Without power, I can&#8217;t power the blower system to use the forge for any lengthy use.  For my burn process, I used a tiny, handheld, battery operated, blower to blow through one of the 2 air pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All I have left to do is fix that darn power outlet, and replace the blower pipe ends with removable caps, and I&#8217;ll be back in business!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finally finished my Forge v4.0!
