  1. Exactly, it's probably because of the torque of an electric motor is higher than I thought a 2-3 HP motor was equivalent to a 5 HP gas engine
  2. I found the specs of my pump, it's a 5 hp I was on the believe that a electric motor is stronger than a gas engine hp for hp... Anyway, I will stop doing my cheapstake and buy a 5 hp motor
  3. ok...... and... 5hp gas or 5hp electric is it the same 5hp ?
  4. Question to those who have tested. When a 2 stages pump mentions 13 hp or 8 hp, does this necessarily require such an engine? On my press made from a log splitter I had a 2hp engine and the pump seems to be a truck power steering. I can not do the analogy of the specs of the pump but it is powerful and fast. Put a motor 2-3 hp on a pump that asks 5 hp will like effect? Slower flow? Thank you.
  5. No clue about the price. Riendeau, you have to leave a message and wait,... ZZZZzzzz !!! Maybe you can look with Les Forges de Montréal https://www.lesforgesdemontreal.org/fr/
  6. More "meat" than just one rivet. The joint is stronger especially when you twist it.
  7. H Riendeau in Montreal but slow service. St-Hippolyte par la 55 et la 15 ca va bien.

  9. To say that to Mike is as if Pythagore said to Einstein: "one day you will understand".!!! LOL !
  10. I do not know why but I still be uncomfortable seeing someone take another person's idea and make it their own. Especially when it complicates the initial concept. But it's only me ... BTW Frosty, did you use «USA parts» when you have develop your T-Burner ?
  11. I really felt that if the air came back from the gas, it was safer. Thank you for sharing your experience.
  12. I left the control of the forge to my friend and indeed, he put A LOT of Borax. I'm happy to have ordered you some «repair potion», with a layer of Metrikote, everything should be in order soon.
  13. Is it me or the location of the air intake looks strange not to say dangerous? I start my readings in order to build one but this image caught my attention in a bad way... Am I wrong?
  14. After making a hole in my forge floor with Borax, I try to have a bullet proof solution! What do you think of the idea of putting a ceramic tile between wool and kast-o-lite? Or a soft / hard firebrick? I take your suggestions. Thank you ! ... Maybe I had not made my layer of kast-o-lite quite thick, see the damage.
  15. Today I pushed the forge to the maximum. The 2 burners at 30psi with borax in good quantity. I made a small crevice and a hole in my Kast-O-Lite. The problem comes from the use or I misapplied the product?
  16. I agree... I want to see the next V10 or V12 Edition ! LOL !!!!
