Saw a weird old forge setup at a farm auction near Lancaster

It had a hand crank blower hooked up to a car battery with jumper cables, and the whole thing was sitting on a stack of cinder blocks. Has anyone ever tried a portable power source like that for a demo forge, or is it just asking for trouble?

Works fine, just keep the battery away from the heat.

Learned that the hard way when my phone battery swelled up like a hot pocket.
