Warning: cheap forge blowers are a $90 mistake I wish I skipped
Bought a budget electric blower off Amazon last spring for my coal forge. Worked okay for about 2 months then the motor started whining loud. It totally seized up on me during a demo at the county fair last August. Lost the $90 plus had to borrow a friend's hand crank blower for the rest of the day. Has anyone else had bad luck with those cheap cast iron blowers or did I just get a lemon?

Used to think cheap blowers were fine for starting out. Your story definitely changed my mind on trusting those things for demos.
