I'm working on making a valve for the air flow, I need to pick up a welder so I can finish the job. I've also been trying to cut 3mm sheet steel with my grinder, but it isn't going well. I'm not very good at straight lines apparently. Sadly I'm not in the US, I'm living in England! Where we can't even buy blacksmith hammers, never mind anything else useful. Sure, we have expensive forges, but for a do it yourself weekend project, I've been struggling.
At the moment I can either have a small amount of air or full air... I think the problem has been, I've got the fire going, opened up my air to full and used up all the fuel in that area in a matter of minutes. Then the fire dies down and rather than add more fuel, I've been trying to add even more air. I'm a proper muppet I know! I'm going to make a video for you guys next time I'm able to try this out.
Thanks for the help so far, you guys have all been great.
