OK,,,,I saw the diagram,,,that helps alot, I think I got it. Goin ta light the forge right now. tnx :)

Mark I have always been lost when it comes to this cross. I don't know whether it's just brain flatulation or what. I have seen several diagrams of it being done, (never a vid or someone in person). And I just don't get it,,when I do I know I will feel sillier than I do now. After the second cut,,,the lights go out for me. It looks like a great project and I have always wanted ta do em.. tnx

ya coulda used 4 of em ta 4 point staple him to the tree B)

tnx bart they really liked em

A couple a bbq forks I made for christmas presents. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!

tnx maddog,, scaling is at almost none!!! and that is without choke plates,,after calculating my time and cost of materials, it was pretty much a no brainer to me also..mike did a really great job with the design. as for the fuel consumption, I weighed a new tank before firing it up, and have been documenting time, as soon as that tank runs out I will be able to answer that. I got this forge for forging damascus (pattern welded) billits. I have a feeling diamondback will have a hard time keeping these things in stock,,as for the noise,,that was at 9 psi for forge welding (prolly could be reduced to 7-8) I ran it makin a bbq fork the other night at 4 and it was going back up to forging temp so fast i was thinkin this thing is gonna work me ta death! Merry Christmas!

Yes it is a new model,,I shoulda muted sound and narrated over it,,I thoughtwith me holding the camera my voice would come through, It is the econo model 2 burner dennis has em on sale for $250, which is one heck of a bang for your buck imo. Merry christmas!

Got this forge bout 5 days ago,,,I am way happy with it!!My link

Holy crap! that was such an obvious solution,,hahahaa reading through all these threads that never once came to mind! Sometimes when I just wanna step back from a project I am doing,,(either ta cool down) or just because I am bored with the monotany I will make a tool, or tools I have been needing,,then go back to the project with a fresh head.

Really nice, neat, and clean! Just curious, what would a set of them go for curly?

After A few months of research and hemming and hawing whether to build one myself, decided to go with Diamondback's product,,I got the 2 burner econo, which will suit me just fine for damascus,,should be here early to middle this week,,also a christmas present from the little woman ,,bless her,,That being said it also gives me great satisfaction to know I am not buying this product from a "guy" just out ta make a buck,,It's his business,,his website,,and if he has a platform like that that is his, he can say what he likes (and i'm not just sayin that cause I agree with him)..by the way I completley agree with Ron Paul's quote, "truth is treason in an empire of lies". That pretty well sums it up

well the arms will swing,,sorry I am not familiar with all of the nomenclature,one will be an arm with a hook the other will be a spiral type flat burner if that is a good enough visual,,,I will get vid up after I install it half should be done today with all the last minute turkey day "honey do's" I have ta do around here today. happy holidays thomas!

Just forgin a couple a hooks ta hang pots' tea kettle and such for my fireplace My link

that is a great setup there curly how long ya get outta that 20# tank?

I see nothing but bad things comming from that idea. Just sayin

lol that didn't work out so well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3sc0raxRPQ

i make both the leaf keychains, and leaf necklaces i dunno what i am doing different than you but if this vid helps then cool,,My link

no problem curly,,it's the holiday time so I been makin more jewlery than other projects,,but the $ buys my coal so got no prob with it the bigger projects aren" due till spring so I got a lil cushion there. forge on man!!

just a few finished projects and some in progress put ta music for an intro for my youtube vids Intro for videos final final_0002.wmv

The first rose is very high quality for a frist rose,,you were open to advice and alternated layers for a more natural look,,you obviously have a love for learning, then implementing what you've learned to your craft. If you are doing something you truely love, and that gives you pleasure as well as creating beautiful art,,then don't be discouraged by those who "are against you" in your decisions. Those people will be the same ones that praise your skill in the future and say,,"I never doubted him from from the beginning" keep em coming. and don't lose the faith brother!

As soon as I find the best deal on it Tim,,lol,,the whole forge is scrounged parts cept for the black pipe under the fire boxI guess if I have to, I will end up buyin it I wanna have everything goin by the first of the year,,,lots ta do in 2010,,,merry christmas!

I decided ta try an make one I will post a pic of end result and link ta video but I ran outta battery time ta show makin the leaf..they will get better YouTube - Lighting new forge for first time.wmv stove pipe goin in asap!!!! lol

That is a fine sculpture. The more and more you do it,, the more comfortable you will feel in trying and discovering new things,,,I never pass up a moment to smile,, knowing I am 1 step closer to maybe knowing something,,,lol,,keep it up I can't wait ta see more!
