I've let run for around 20 mins
-
Made some more progress of the forge, I still have a few more things to do. This is with 1 burner running at about 20 psi I don't know why my pictures are alway rotated
-
Frosty, I understand what your saying by have the tip at least halfway across the air intake to start tuning, but like I said, I've tried different lengths from 1/2 to 1/4 and everywhere in between. I can't get it to run to even start tuning. I've deburred the holes after cutting them down. Maybe I need to put on the dunce cap and sit in the corner!
-
Thanks Frosty, I'll give that a try
-
I took it out of the T and tried just running the mig tip, it would run as long as I kept the flame on it, but went out when the flame is removed
-
I've tried various lengths of mig tips, I've tried running without mig tip on and it'll work, I'm using .023 for the 1/2" and .035 for the 3/4", I'm thinking I may need to make the mig tip hole bigger.

I thank all of yall for yalls wisdom and helping out the new people on this forum! I made a little progress on my forge, I cut it down the length from 18" to 14", welded on the burner holders, and built one 1/2" T burner. I've tried running in open air out side the forge and also tried running in the forge, it'll run at low psi but when I turn it up past 5 psi it goes out. I've tried different lengths of mig tips, I've cut about a 1/4" off of one, I think I may need to go a little shorter. The mig tips are .23, overall length of 1". Sorry the pictures are rotated
-
Your right Frosty, there's no need in experimenting with a proven design, I'm gonna stick with two 1/2" T burners. Sorry for the abbreviations and lack of knowledge. This is my first attempt at building a gas forge, I just want to get it right. Thanks

Do u think it would be ok to run 2 3/4 t burners and run them at a lower psi, or should I run 2 1/2 T burners?
-
Alright, here's my plan. I plan on cutting down the forge from 18" length to 14" and adding a 4" pass thru hole in the back of the forge for longer material. I figured out with the 2" of blanket it would take it to 6"x10, that should put me at around 300 cu", not sure if I'm gonna use 1/2" t burner or a 3/4" t burner.
-
Ok, thanks I must have misread or this is a different burner, on the 6" nipple do u leave the threads on or cut down to 6"? And on the mig tips, are they tapered tweeco?
-
What about the 3/4 t burner
-
We'll I started making the burners and I have a question about the length of the down tube, frosty says a 8"-9" works well for the 3/4 burner, I've seen pictures of others that are shorter and seem to work well, my question is what would be a good overall length for the down tube? And would I have to use a flare on the end of it? Thanks alot
-
Thanks, I'going to start find the materials to build the burners
