    U Don't have to seem upset sir I was just trying to clarify 

    I was just trying to make sure that you read and understood the attachment.  This is the very first time that I have had anyone have so much trouble understanding this attachment and my further instructions.

    Maybe if you call me I can make my self better understood.

    Let me know if I can help you, sincerely.

    Read Build a Gas Forge attachment again.  You hold the blanket back about 1/2" all the way around.  The castable refractory will adhere to the metal and completely enclose the ceramic blanket.

    Let me know if I can help you again.

    Actually, building your own forge is quicker and easier than you would think.  You not only will save money you will learn a lot about forges.

    Check out the Build a Gas Forge attachment at the Forge Supplies page on my web-site.  You can find the url and other contact info on my Profile.

    Let me know if I can help you.  I prefer contact by e-mail.

    a 40# tank is WAY to large.  Forget about the Fire Brick heat sink.

    Best forge?

    You say that he does not have time to build a forge but to make any of the low priced forges useable he will still need to spend time casting the interior and applying an IR product (like Plistix or Metrikote).  For the same amount of time and money invested he can build a better forge.

    Check out the Build a Gas Forge attachment on the Forge Supplies page of my web-site.  You can find the url and other contact info on my Profile.  This attachment calls for 1" of ceramic blanket and 1/2" of Kast-0-Lite over coated with Metrikote or Plistix infrared reflective product.

    I have not built a forge with 2" of ceramic blanket, however, with my forge after forging all day I can still touch the outside.

    Wood Floored Smithy?

    I have large pieces of cardboard (like washers and dryers come in) all over the floor in my shop for cushioning and to catch any oil or other liquids that might spill.  If red hot iron lands on it it will scorch but I have never had more than that.  Of course I do pick it right up, I don't just let it sit there.  I have been doing this for over 10 years.

    Euroanvils

    Posted

    My mistake, Blacksmith Supply.com bought the rights to EuroAnvils several years ago but the last I heard was having trouble with the over seas caster so had the molds shipped to the US.  But was having trouble finding anyone to cast them here at an acceptable price. I get a "Can't open site" message this morning.

    Big Blu worked at getting a similar anvil going but I have heard from them  that has gone by the wayside.

    First Gas Forge (UFO build)

    Any local welding supply store should have them in stock.  I had a student that had built a burner using a standard mig tip and it did not work well.  As soon as he replaced it with a T tip everything worked well.

    Have you read the Build a Gas Forge attachment at the Forge Supplies page on my web-site?

    as to the burner you need to use a Tweeko T tip, T stands for tapered.

    What you are calling a truckie hitch is called a teamsters hitch in the books that I have.  I use it every time I tie any load. As Frosty said I always put an over hand knot on the upper loop otherwise the loop can fall over, untying the hitch,   In north Georgia where there were truck loads of chickens being transported for processing it was called a "Chicken Knot".  Now the main replacement is webbing and ratchet.

    When the groves are forged into the billet the spline of the knife shows the deformation and adds an additional feature, almost like decretive filing .  The layers in a ground grove leaves the layers all in line.

    Naturally Aspirated Ribbon Burner. Photo heavy.

    in Ribbon Burners

    Posted

    In my blown Ribbon Burner I have it mounted in the top, aimed straight down.  In a dimly lighted shop I can see the flames coming down about half way then half swirls to the right and half to the left so it appears that even with it aimed straight down I am getting the swirling effect.  I don't know if that would be true with a NARB.
