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

Air Inlet doors 2"X4"

Air Exit hole 2" Diameter

Lower chamber 3.4"HX24"L

Wall thickness "about" 5/8"
