  1. It’s for a Christian sculpture walk at our shop. 
    I use penetrol for outside work 

    Built new machine for upcoming work to twist metal. 
    possibly overbuilt but better safe than sorry. 
    this video was 1 1/2 solid. But confident it would go bigger. 
    I call it the twist o matic.

  2. Finally time to post pics of completed (for now) shop addition. Both cranes installed. Table built. Plasma cutter moved in and all utilities finished. Shop sculpture installed.  Just need to heat for winter. 
    definitely a blessing from God.

  3. Thanks guys... the massive burner forge works far better than a ground for for inflating metal. 
    I’ve tried it. 
    Each burner has its own valve allowing me to isolate and zone in on shapes. 
    this forge has strictly been used to inflate shapes larger than my small forged will handle. I’ve inflated shapes up to 46” x 46” without a hitch. 

  4. Haven’t posted in a while, pretty much smithing full time now. Added new belt sander and mega forge for giant inflations. 
    hopefully another addition in the works. Also added giant spider outside door, just for fun. Will post pics of sander

  5. Ok. 
    So got a job that will involve heating a 48x48 “

    piece of 16 gauge sheet metal up. 
    Need to build a temporary type forge for this. 
    my first thought is to build a large square top and mount a bunch of burners on it and just stack brick for sides and bottom. Only going to be used 1-2 (hopefully more) times. 
    don’t want to over complicate it. Only need to get the sheet metal hot enough to inflate it. 
    any thoughts  on a burner count?

    im thinking 1 every square foot- 25 or so??
