Recently I purchased a leg vice and receive a parts vice. I've assembled both to the point needing 1 screw box. 

Now in 2017 is there any more current  information on this subject of leg vice screw box.

Thanks in advance Honcho

Great Job.

I sure hope the blue kettle isn't a Weber grill. That sure was a ole classic
and I thing some of the BBQers would be crying if the saw this... signed BBQ Honcho

But the Idea sure looks like a good one to me

You already have a burner. The weed wand gas torch should put out plenty of BTU's, you just have to play with the back-pressure issues and make sure you don't build a forge so large that the burner can't heat it all. I'm getting ready to build a forge similar to what you describe and will be using my weed-burner to heat it because I have it on hand.

Here's a photo of Tai Goo's weed burner forge. Not very complicated, is it?

Nice, that will do the job for sure

That sure is a fine build you got going on.

You know if you showed me that pix of Burt from Gun Smoke.
I don't think I would know that was an I'm 57.
My Dad, Brother, and myself watched that all the time.
Sux gettin OLD....LOL Who am I ??

If you look at my profile, you'll see hobbies that cost $. Seems to be the way I do things.
1 thing I did learn when BBQin is you can learn on your own and spend lots on meat to throw away.
Or you can take a class. But I didn't see that on any list, I could have missed it

But that can be the place you don't want to cut corners.
Good classes will save BIG $$ in meat and supplies

I see the same thing happening here. I joined http://www.nysdb.org/
Every meeting the elders ( LOL, I'm 57 ) teach us something. I can't thank them enough
Somethings don't seem to mean anything, till you look at the whole picture.

I'm just a new guy here trying to learn, Oh thanks for all your help n clues.
You want to learn bbq, I can help, I owe Y'all

I'm thinkin of using this on my blower motor. Any comments ?

Thanks for posting, Lots of good ideas you got goin on. Congrats

Look on e-bay.
Thats were I find info on a lot of stuff
Good Luck. let us know what you find Please

I also have 1 just like that. I used a pipe bender and made new legs for mine. The threads were all rusted thin causing it to wobble. Mine screw in. I looked on eBay all the time to learn the name of the tools and equipment Blacksmiths use. I saw 1 there for $2300 ( all painted pretty) and still going. I forgot about it for a few days, by the time I got back it was gone and I didn't see the price it went for.

I was told not to burn in it till I put in some heat cenment. I hope to this weekend. I stopped at the hardware store and picked up a cast iron drain cover for the sewer vent for $6 and change. Think I'll trim the 4 legs off the cast iron to lower it to the floor of the pot and install the cenment the way Phil said. Thanks Phil..I gotta get the new phone to post the event

Would I,,,, In a New York Second

Great Job. I can see by the work you've done on that rail you'll be a great Blacksmith.
Congrats to you

Dave we should have our own forum LOL. I'm lookin to you for help at both threads.

When you say your using SOFT bricks I see frie bricks in your pix

I understand soft bricks to bee kinda like Styrofoam and easy as butter to cut. Do I have them mixed up ?
I did start door like yours. but I still may use 1 20# tank instead of 2, 20# tanks

Thanks for all you help Gents.. Someday when I get this done and banging some metal.
I'll beable to help the next batch of new "Iron Heads"

Oh, :wacko: Yes I will coat the blanket with that 3,000 degree cement stuff

Thanks Dave for your fast responce,
1, I plan to use 2" of the blanket you mention. And fire brick doors on 3" channel

2, I was building it like a 40# propane tank. Cause I was going to twist 1/2 " square for a porch rail.
Till I learned not to heat the stock because an uneven heat will twist stock uneven.

So I just kept the same plans. Your thinkin that 3 burners with/out ball valves for shut offs, will not work right ?
Then I'll just use 1, 20 # tank. Whats crazy I did make 4 burners....LOL I just think that 5 burners will eat the propane
faster then I can buy it. And natural gas is to far to pipe. 4 may cost to much if the price don't slow down

Thanks, for input :) :) :)

Hi Gang, Dave I've been working on 3 burners of your design. I'm building a forge oven that is 16" long x 12" round. It's two 20 propane tanks with the ends cut off ( justing the body) and welded togeather making it 16" long.

What I wondering is if I use three burners in that 16" will it be to hot, or not hot enough. I did build 4 just in case.

What I may do is install 3 burners each with it's own ball valve to shut off gas, so I can burn 1, 2, or all 3 burners.
But if 1 or 2 are shut off will the heat ruin them. Guess I'm kinda askin about what temp are the burners.

This is my frist forge build and I got this far, Just guessing the next step

Thank You

Thanks Gents, You have the answers I was lookin for THANK YOU

Thank You Newbie,,,Great find for sure

Unifrax is a local company that I have deliviered to many time. Great bunch of folks work there
Working temp is 2600 degrees F That should work ? RIGHT !

Where can I find some pix of the brick doors, and frame, Please

I working on a gas forge out of propane tanks. Things are real close.
I am wondering about Doors.

1, If I use metal for doors I'll have to cover them with that Unifrax blanket, RIGHT

2, If I use fire brick how would I do the doors ? I have seen pix around here,
but can't seem to find them. Any ideas


Thank All of You for your help

I sure do like reading this stuff. I'm gonna make sure mine is working right B4 I burn a belt.
Thanks for the heads up on this one...

Be Careful when you buy charcoal. some are just junk.
Ask a BBQ team. Oh that's us...
Try this http://www.nakedwhiz.com/lumpindexpage.htm?bag

It's what we use to look at charcoal before we buy any
Psss. It also has addresses of suppliers
