In this video, I'm testing out a homemade refractory for forge. I am testing this forge refractory recipe, as I had created several different smaller samples before making this one. If it holds up well over time, I'll have  a diy propane forge video coming out. 

I use a forced air burner of my own design for this test forge. I have the link listed below, and I also have a materials list at my website, www.blacksmithpdfs.com. 

Refractory cement is a great forge lining material. If you aren't familiar with the term refractory cement, you may have also heard it called "forge lining cement". 

If you're interested in a homemade forge, you can checkout several small options I've shown:
