You can make a blown burner without welding; they are dead simple look for an elbow with a much smaller sized opening for a third pipe coming out of it then section of pipe from blower to elbow large opening, Section of pipe elbow large opening to inside of forge and the small opening gets plumbed for gas---often with the inside end mashed down or capped and drilled on the side to make jets.

do i have to use an elbow? or can i use a "t"?

hey guys!

how practical is it to want to make a belt grinder with no welder? and if practical, any idea how much it would cost for all the materials?

hey guys! Im looking to build my first gas forge and am wordering about a few things so here it goes: As of now, i am leaning toward building a forced air style burner and im not really sure what design to use (i dont own a welder which is why i am having trouble finding a design). Any ideas? Also (stupid question here), does the actual burning take place inside the burner or just outside the burner in the forge? Can i use pvc pipe for air intake or will it get enough heat to melt? and does anyone know where i can get some decent firebrick in the St.Paul/Minneapolis area?
