well i went to meeting and had a good time. will be going next week as well and hoping to learn alot.
-
that sounds like a plan. ill go ahead with that. dont know if i can trust high heat paint lol. i know clay is good.
-
so i looked up that clay would make it rust faster and that i should use high temp paint. but i can only find high temp paint up to 1000 C. and the coal by the looks of it gets way higher. dont know if i should risk the paint or not. i can always get a water heater with me being plumbing heating and air XD

going to use a bucket of water at the bottom of the pipe. someone mentioned that in chat. ill have to find something to line it with then. didnt know if it would hold up or not.

im not making anything. im just wondering because it sounds easier to just cast an item instead of smithing it.
-
just wondering. what are the pros and cons to casting metal instead of smithing it?

ok. what if i just show up to one of there monday meetings to meet them. their website isnt working at all so i cant email any of them. i thought about hitting up there shop in haysville this friday but would it be better to just go there money evening?

update. i worked on it a little more tonight. instead of putting the blower through the whole, im going to take the 2 feet piece of flue i cut out of it and make a hole for it and just push it in and jb weld it to the flue still inside. then ill form the blower vent to the pipe and put a screw in on top. that way its easier to change out. hard part is making a hole in the flue already in the tank without cutting out the sides.
