I'll do both. Thanks

Hello, I know sometimes it's frustrating to respond to new people because you never know what they will do with your advice. Recently, I asked about the tuning of the T-Burner and about a forge made of a toolbox. I decided to build the forge with a toolbox but respecting the construction of the T-Burner. You will see the different steps of fabrication. My plans are to double the kaowool on the sides and put a refractory brick at the bottom so as not to wear the wool. Also, I will open the door a little more. I would like your comments on his behavior. I think my burners are still to rich. Thank you for your help.

I continued to try to get a perfect neutral flame. Here's my last result. Now I think that I'm ready to it in the forge and give the final touch. Comments ?

Btw, is't not mine. It was on eBay... i just want to understand why the guys did that... yours answers are helpful.

..and what about the length of the tube ?

I saw this on Ebay... seem long ? no ?

Thanks Frosty. This is the 1/4" flare coupler that you use now ?

I started on the bench because I was very far from the desired result. The final tuning will be made in the forge.

First of all, thank you for your answers. Secondly, it was the first and last time I put a video on the forum and I apologize for that. If the moderators want to remove it, it does not bother me at all. I inspected well for the leaks and indeed, there was one on the tip of the MIG. Then I knew I was probably on the rich side but I didn’t imagine that much. I cut half the tip to get an acceptable result. I was either impatient or greedy. LOL !!! Although Frosty said that the bell reductor was not the best flare, in my case it seems to work well. In any case, I do not think it is decisive in the fine tuning. Thank you very much to all of you, I will continue the final stages, you put me all on the right track. Specs: Tee: 1X1 - chase 3/4 Nipple 3/4 X 6 in. MIG TIP .035 PSI: the flame decide! Flare: bell reducer 1 to 3/4 (for the moment)

Tonight, I will try again with a shorten MIG tip, maybe I just didn't cut enough. I will also check for leak. I'll take pictures of everything. Thanks,

I did my homework before asking my question by reading all the topics on the forum about this problem I followed carefully the instructions to make my 3/4 T-Burner. The steps are so simple that it is difficult to go wrong. Nevertheless, despite several attempts to adjust the MIG point, I’m not able to have the complete blue flame. I tried the coupler, bell reductor and even without a flare, nothing changes. I run with 6-10psi. The only possible place I missed is to perfectly align the tip of the MIG. Yet I'm sure that i’m in the dead center, maybe I made it a little crooked when I made the threads. I attached a video to give you an idea of my result to date. If you told me that the only problem is the MIG point adjustment, I’ll be patient and try again ! Thank you for your help IMG_1933.MOV

Je pense pas que tu as overpaid tant que cela... you found an anvil in a very good shape ! and you can't put «good» and «cheap» in the same sentence !!! When I will sell my almost brand new Angele, i will ask a price that will be a discount from the original price, not a 2 ou 3$/lb ratio !... and I will wait for the buyer.

The picture I posted is a 180#, maybe the 300+ design is different ? Frosty 300# ...for 444.51$ US today !!!

I think i've find it ! http://www.german-anvil.com/German_Anvil_Collection/Soderfors_Dannemora_Sweden.html

oups !!! we are talking about the same anvil....

Hello, I need help identifying this anvil. There is no stamp of the manufacturer. On the other hand there are 2 miniscule holes that could suggest that a plaque was affixed. The hole in the base (side by side) does not pass through The pictures are bad, I will try to post better tonight or tomorrow Thank you

I like'm all !

TIG !

Nice work! Not so easy, welding the two sides also gives me trouble. The horns are also difficult to extend and form. To practice, I have launched three heads at the same time, the last one is the most beautiful. Here is an example of my first try.

Just finish it yesterday.

Thanks for the english lesson, I really need it. ! :-)))

If they want to steal it, they will have to gain it !
