Dave, If the taller pipe dosn't cure the draw, try bring the smoke shelf further forward closer to the door. as long as the shelf, opening is the same area as the pipe. This will help keep smoke from entering the room. BTW nice looking stove!

Butterfield, Welcome to IFI. I'm also from Colorado. I live on the western slope near Grand Junction. I'm also interested in woodturning. I've made almost all of my woodturning tools. I've friended David on facebook he is truely an awesome smith.

Do yourself a favor and build a smoke shelf. With entance to the shelf above to door toward the front. When you open the door it tends to draw smoke and flames much like a side draft chimmey. So that the smoke, and flames don't enter the room.
Just my two cents

Dear Larry,
I thought the 2d part of the fish quote was, "teach a man to fish and he will blow the kid's lunch money on carbon fiber rods and buzz baits." ;-)
Fishily,
George M.
Let's just say there will be no shortage of beer and bait money from that day forward. :D

I share my wisdom everyday with the young guys at work. I look at it this way when I'm gone they'll be share the same wisdom with others.

P.S. If you give a man a fish he will eat for a day. Teach that same man how to fish he will eat for a lifetime. Teach a child to fish, and he will feed a world.

I'd put a filter in the up stream side of the solenoid valve. Propane can be dirty, a flake of something may have held the valve off it's seat. Which cause it not to seal. Just my two cents

I like the wedge lock system. Do you ever have a problem with it working loose? Another question do you use the same fixture for spring tooling?

Fciron, You are right both Hossfeld, and DiArco have websites. They have downloads of there catologs which you can use to learn to use these benders.

Here's the one I built.

This bender is an easy build with a drill press, and welder. I built one of these a few years ago. It works very well. Besides the pipe dies, I use dies that I made by bending strap iron to the right diameter. If you need a heavy duty unit, it can be scale up. If you are interested I'll post pictures of mine.
Here are some picture of my bender attached to the side of my hydrualic press. The last three are of dies that I've made. As you can see they don't have to be anything fancy most of mine are just throw togethers. The football shaped ones can be used as feed along dies to make rings.

Looks like the start of a small spring helve power hammer, or a treadle hammer to me. :)

I'm thinking it may have been used the to knock off hub nuts, on a car with that type of hubs.

Yes, You can drill and tap for wire welding tip, but you will have to use one with the same size hole. Another way is to drill and tap for carburator metering jet. I think you can still buy them auto parts store.

Knee mail sent on this end jimmy. God Bless you buddy!!

Yes braze it. But before you start bazing vee out the two pieces. Leave enough of the to index the two back the way they fit together. Before start to actually brazing, clamp them, then preheat the entire parts to good black heat. It also looks as if you may have over tighten the set screw. Which broke it in the first place.
Hope this helps

I use a lot of deep heat ontiments. Most of the time I try to ignore the pain and keep working. One thing I can tell you never stop working. The more idle you become the worse it gets.
