Okay, thank you. So I got wrong parts. Got the right tools lol. I apreciate your help fellas. I'll get the proper fittings and hopefully be up and running in a few days thank you again for your help

I didn't buy them at the same place, been gathering parts here and there. Brazzer I don't need them? Just flare the pipe and connect the two halfs? I assumed the ferrules where needed because they were with the fittings when I bought them. Thank you for the help guys.

So I've finally got my t burner built and all ready to fire, but when I opened the tank and did my leak check my fittings were leaking. Tore it all apart to find my furl? Fittings were damaged so I cut the pipe and re flared it but same issue. What am I doing wrong with the flaring?

Okay, thank you Thomas, im gonna start putting money away and build a Frosty style burner. Thanks for the help again. Oh other than kaowool what elese makes agood liner? Ive been looking through the formus and the search page, but all I can't seem to find anything other then kaowool for lining, is there something eles I could use? Only reason Im trying not to use it is no one localy sells it and I don't have a way to purchase items online. Thanks Valthinos

Okay, Thank you Daniel. lookin at Frosty's plans couldn't i just cut the shroud off the weed burner and then put it into the "T" that Frosty's plans use? Same concept right and if I need less propane I could just thread the rod and put a reducer on it? Or am I just gonna have to start all over with the burner? Thanks, Valthinos

Thanks for the input Thomas, Ive got no idea if the writer of that instructible has blacksmithing experience. I myself dont have any experience. I started out just cutting knifes out of old bandsaw blades that my dad brought home from the mill. As the years went on and we made the knifes together i decided I wanted to take it a step further and get into blacksmithing.I plan to use the forge for making knifes, what do you mean by "most weed burners are quite oxidizing"? Do they put to much air into the mixture? The blower coment was indeed about making it a blown burner. For the I beam I figured that any strong solid metal surface would do, ill look in to finding a new anvil. Sadly im not near you I live in Bandon, Oregon. Im definatly gonna be doin more research, guess I just got a little to excited and ahead of myself. Thanks again Valthinos

I've been messin around with the idea of building a forge for a while now and I have finnaly done it. She started out as a garden sprayer, and a propane weed burner. I used a mixture of beach sand and Plaster of Paris for the lining (read an instructable for a soup can forge and got the idea there). It seems to work well, need to figure out if im gonna do a blower on it or not. I heated up some old logging cable I had layin around and in just a few minutes it got glowing good. My anvil is an old I beam chunk i found at a junk yard. I wasn't looking to put alot of money into one so i repourpsed alot of stuff. xxxx i evan got a 5gal propane tank full for free!!!! Anyways thought i wood share with everyone looking for some feedback Positive or negative. Thanks Guys, Valthinos
