  1. It worked okay in a cinder block forge, the side inside was 9"x9" x4.5", it lost a lot of heat tho . I learned from the guy that refills our gas that the "oxy-acetalene" torch we use is actually fueld by oxygen and propane. 19.7 liter tanks of oxygen and propane cost us R700 for the 2, and you get a lot of usage out of it like that, and much hotter heat . ( R700 is about 55$US. ) and building a burner for that will be easy cause the air intake and choke are no longer relevant . what do you think ? Thanks for all your help, Michael.
  2. I meant I'll add the fabrication part, but that's a good point you're making. Thanks Michael.
  3. True. So it would be good to include it in the card , but that's quite some time away. Thanks Michael.
  4. Frosty, i tested my monstrosity of a burner, it seemed to be working fine the flame looks good to me, what do you think ?
  5. Yeah, we do do that. But then I'm a subcontractor to him and have nothing to do with his client.
  6. That was the exact idea I had, I posted a scetch of that not too long ago, so it sounds good to me. My dad does fabricating and well be sharing a building, so I don't think he'd appreciate it if I took his clients
  7. I have a dirt road that leads to my house, so the car thing sounds good. Thanks, Michael.
  8. So you're saying that red raver wrought works would mean red raven worked works . I like red raven blacksmithing. Its simple for the general public to understand . Michael.
  9. Won't this 100% mess up my speakers ?
  10. Red raver wrought works might confuse the public don't you think ? I mean I'm still not even 100% is re what wrought means
  11. Hi have full access to a 6 foot lathe and a milling machine, no formal training but I can make something off a plan . I cant buy online. I have no street address cause I live on a farm, so I can't register for online shops. Are there any plans that would be better suited for being made on a lathe that you might suggest ? I have a full time job, blacksmithing is my weekend thing so far Thanks, Michael.
  12. But still, can't I just weld a 3/4" pipe into a 1" pipe and then add the mig tips and stuff ? Thanks Michael
  13. yeah cause if the concebsus is done with it then I can end up with " the forge of birds that whete once on fire" or something like that ... So its settled then, "red raven blacksmithing " Thanks Michael.
  14. Hi guys, I was wondering if and how you can harden copper. Thanks Michael
  15. What do you guys think of simply "red raven blacksmithing" it iliminates the chance that people think I'll make them fake IDs, and it doesn't sound like a gay bar. Any thoughts ? Thanks Michael.
  16. Yeah, the red raven sounds better, and it doesn't have unwanted connotation , and the sign will be easier to make . I like it, thanks Michael.
  17. I walked through all the shelves, j even drew a picture. Nothing
  18. I couldn't find any reducing t's , will it work if I just take a 1" pipe and weld a 3/4" pipe of apropreate length into the side ? Then add the mig tip in the top as it would be in the T ? They only had those small nipples in various sizes but nothing longer ... Thanks, Michael. I assume that as long as the inside is the same that it won't make much of a difference. But you're the expert.
  19. I don't think my dad is dumb , i just dont want to conform to things that are not relevant to me. But I might have to postpone the opening by about 3 or 4 years due to studies ... So I have lots of time to figure it out. Thanks Michael.
  20. I'm busy filing the edges smooth on the reducer and making sure the 2 nipples joinbwithout a gap . I went to 5 different stores and searched the entire day, that's the best I could do , well it was only about 5 dollars, so not too expensive of a mistake Thanksagain Michael.
  21. Ooooh, I wish we had some real gamers here, I'd love to play old school RPGs but no one I know of has the patients for them ..
  22. Won't I get the same if I ask it here ? Cause my friends are gamers so they all want me to make it like something in "skyrim" ... And I don't know any blacksmiths ... Thanks, Michael.
  23. What is tubal chain ? A quick scetch of the sign I invisioned, a simple wooden hanging sign in the shape of an anvil . I can get past my dad by saying the it's a local legend , he'll accept that . I like burning raven , that'll be my first choice if flaming raven doesn't work, thanks Thanks for all your help, Michael.
  24. My first burner is done !!! Its Untested tho Frosty, I couldnt find the exact fittings your plans specified, but the inside is about the same as the ppab calls for .
