  1. I'm at 9800', posted the same question last year. Big difference in our elevation. Built an efficient forge, 350 cu in, 1" Chile Forge burner, no where near forge welding temps. Consulted a long time farrier/black smith who lives at 8200' here in Colorado. He uses a three burner small forge for his mobile farrier work, coal at his home for his blacksmith business. He suggested I go to coal. Not wanting to use coal, I recently built a ribbon burner. Still not quite there with the 2 1/2" Blacksmithdepot blower. Believe the problem is the lack of pressure from the blower. According to my WC gauge only getting .5". Have a blower on its way that claims a WC of 6", see what that does.
  2. Just recently bought this Peter Wright 141lb. Finished the stand today.
  3. Thanks for the replies. Will build the burner(s), open to any design.
  4. New guy from 9800' Colorado. Recently picked up a Peter Wright Anvil, welded up a stand based on designs I've seen here... Now in the planning stage of a forge/burner. Have a interested Bushcraft sized knives and Axes. Want to be able to weld. Considering a 20lb propane tank size forge. Any help will be appreciated regarding burner design. Thanks, Kevin
