  1. Here's the bottom. Doesn't seem to be anything at all.
  2. Okay, thanks. I'll look into this. As for the bottom, its nailed to this stump with bent over rebar. Seems to work well and I'll have to probably straighten them rather than pull them out. Anyway I'll get a pic of what the bottom looks like.
  3. Hello people! I'm about to list this anvil on kijiji and I was hoping to identify it first. The markings have been ground away. All I know is that its 100lbs. It may have come from England as well, but maybe not. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks so much
  4. Had some time today to fire it up again. Honestly, it tals about a half hour to run nice and hot, then adjusting the mix is less finicky. I took it up to three psi for the whole time. This is the resulting image, which seems to be a typical glowing out of focus pic of a bery hot forge. Taken by someone who knows nothing of photography
  5. Thanks for the replies. Im pretty sure i abandoned this
  6. Yes i did. Its working nicely. Brought it up to a good temp and then ran out of gas. Life got in the way so i haven't filled up for a while. I'll try and remember to post a pic of your typical hard to look inside forge heat when its started again. As with all burners it seems, you have to play with them a bit and find what works. I think once the forgehas ran a bit and gets nice and hot i end up adjusting it again. Not included in the pics, is a spirally paddle i added to improve turbulence and mixing.

    Press is finished!

    Thanks everyone. I filled the tank, let it run. Moved it back and forth a couple tomes. Seems alright. I just didnt want to ruin anything in a moment of haste so i asked you people and slept on it. Its moving. Ill see if its working once i finish with the die assembly.
  8. I've already posted some progress of this press build. Everything is all hooked up and I'm searching online for advice on a system of some kind for filling it up with oil. Is there some procedure to follow to make sure oil is everywhere it needs to be? Any advice or links would be appreciated. Thanks fellas and ladies too
  9. I'm only chiming in not because I'm an expert but just through what might be dumb luck, I stumbled across a tripod equipped youtuber (fire creek forge) who just built something similar. He describes the same problem in his video. there is a little valve in the filter housing that broke off and ended up blocking the return line after the filter. He replaced it with a new filter and "housing"? that didnt have the little valve in the top like yours does.
  10. Thanks ill give it a try once i bring it up to full temp. Its called ks4v plus.
  11. Ill keep this in mind. I've seen peices of twisted sheet inside the chamber to aid in the mixing as well. Thanks
  12. This is my gas forge. When i started sevenish years ago, this forum taught me anything i needed to know. Thanks a bunch everyone. I have now finished my newest forge. Hopefully it lasts. Roughly 1 1/2" thick cast with 1" wool wrap for added measure. Measures 10" wide on the floor by 8 " tall by 14" deep. I made the ribbon burner as many others have. With my 27 hole (i beleive) at 5/16", it has a 2" opening in which the air and fuel are stuffed. The gas orifice is 1/16". I have yet to fully bring it up to temp.
  13. My bad. It's a sixteenth. The id of the forge is roughly an 8 inch cylinder maybe twelve inches long. I have about 20, 3/16" holes in the burner end.
  14. Sorry, they are both 3.5 " . Same size. Yes I will try to pop in here more often. here it stands tacked into place for all the rest of its bits
