Making a Chinese Wooden Box Bellows for our Blacksmith Forge
Making a Chinese Box Bellows with Mr Chickadee! In this video we show the steps taken to construct a traditional Chinese Style Box Bellows from wood.
This ancient style of Bellows uses a wooden carcase and multiple chambers to deliver a nice concentrated air blast to a blacksmith forge.
All wood is air dried pine, cut here over the last years. Most is shortleaf pine with a bit of white pine for the piston head.
Rough Dimensions as follows:
Total 10“WX16“HX32“L
