    Curious how long does the soak need to be on average and does the vinegar lose strength afterwards or can it be reused ?

    Hey OddDuck when you get this blower where you want it, I will buy one to support the mighty effort you have put into this. Great Job-take that china ! On a side note Lodge makes a huge cast iron frypan for camping that lends it self well as a pan donor for a portable forge.

    Just having a plan you have made a good start, work on developing your skills and decide what kind of smithing you want to do and that will help decide what the next priority should be , good luck

    I used two sheets of 1/4 , it was easier to move and cheaper then one 1/2 inch, beats me why. Maby it was based on what they had in the yard i dont know but it has worked out well.

    Sorry if I was unclear. I tottaly agree with learning to do it your self , what i was reffering to is our local trade school offered a night class for adults to learn how to weld. the best part is they let you work on your own projects. A couple guys in the local car club did it. .Kill two birds with one stone

    The cost of a new tip the rite size for your torch plus the amount of gas you will burn are going to make those parts pretty exspensive. I would see if your local high school offers a night class , I know some do. Heck if you lived close buy you could weldem up in my shop. Good luck on what ever you decide.

    I belive the tables are based on full load, 100% duty cycle. your individual needs will determine what you can actualy get away with.
