Looks great Keith. I think that's as close as one can get for a first attempt. It's alot closer than what I could have gotten.

Did you end up using that sweet little gasser that you were showing off at the meeting? What was that site that you said you got the design from again? I didn't write it down and have been kicking myself since.

By the way thanks for the blower. I finally got it and the control unit installed on the forge. Now I'm just waiting for a a nice day to fire things up.

i got the burner design from melting metal in a home foundry, backyard metalcasting, metal casting my orifice is a #60 drill hole rather than his recommended #57-58. the single rose took about 30 minutes to make and the one with the leaf took about 45 minutes
will hammer out a few more this weekend in and amongst a few other goodies i would like to try.
