| Abstract: | This paper presents the result of a practical of work carried out to fabricate manual Blacksmith’s forge for convenience of local Blacksmith and benefits of rural community. The design specification was solely based on the available local materials. Angular mild steel bars (50 x 50mm); mild steel plate (1mm thick) cut to standard and clay serving as refractory material were the major materials used for its fabrication. The angular bars were welded mild steel sheets riveted and clay bricks were in the chamber. The result shows that the fabricated Black-smith’s forge had greater efficiency as compared to labour intensive bellow used by Black-smiths and that it can also be adapted for melting of some non-ferrous metals for casting purposes. |
