Description: 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" Additional videos on this topic: youtube.com/watch?v=X_Jdf5Ab6PM&t=619s youtube.com/watch?v=Su3tbYiuqhw&t=107s youtube.com/watch?v=oUMt0gTIsCw Patreon page: patreon.com/mrchickadee Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/mr_chickadee1 My website : mrchickadee.com
