Re: DIY hand cranked blower for my forge
I think my commercially made blowers are ~3X that, 20:1 or more. I find myself wondering what 'output' a traditional bellows has compared to what I have rigged up. I also find myself wondering if I can hook up BOTH the hand cranked and the electric I have now so that I can use the DIY version when ...

Re: DIY hand cranked blower for my forge
Took the bike apart and cleaned up the flywheel a little. Ground off the frame tubes I didn't want/need and repainted it to help prevent rust. Left pedals on for now..... they will be removed later.... http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r295/ConalOhAirt/blowerpartsII.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/...

Re: DIY hand cranked blower for my forge
The hand crank blower was mostly a space saver.... I'd love to build a double lung bellows at some point
but that will require more space than I have to commit to it at the moment.
