The miniature forge and bellows is the centerpiece of the dragonslayer set and here I show you a little bit about how it is made.

I also have a tutorail on the making of the miniature anvil

This is part of the set for the dragonslayer Meteor Stop Motion Animation.

The forge coals are neatly carved out of foam. Here is what they look like after painted.

The shape of the coal is made by using some kind of a metal tool and plucking chunks out of the foam.

Here is the almost completed coal pit. It just needs a little red and yellow paint for the glowing embers.

The rest of the forge is just some pieces of foam cut, shaped, and painted. One piece goes behind the coal pit and the large tall piece goes above it as a flue.

I mounted a red and a yellow light in the back of the forge so it glowed You can see the glow in this picture from the animation.

The bellows is an interesting little project. And the bellows actually can be pumped.

You can see the curved pieces of wire that are attached to the brown fabric and then glued to the wooden parts of the bellows.

Then a balsa wood frame is made for it. the dowel that is glued to the bellows actually rotates so the bellows can be pumped.

Then the bellows setup is attached to the forge.
