Figured I would start a project page to keep track of my progress.
First attempt at building a burner, getting forge setup
Put together a burner tonight just to see if I could get it working properly. It seems ok but def needs to be tuned. Not sure if I am getting enough air/too much air in the burner. Cut off one end of a air compressor tank. Have enough Kaowool for 2 inches of insulation on the way as well as some Satanite for coating. Don't really want to throw down for the ITC-100 at the moment to keep costs down. Have a few fire bricks and was just gonna set one on the floor and use two others to create a "door."
Here is a part list that I used for the burner:
3/4" pipe nipple, 8" long
3/4" to 1-1/2" pipe reducer
3/4" to 1" pipe reducer
1" pipe nipple for flare, (3" long)
1/8" Brass cap
1/8" Brass nipple, 3" long
1/8" to 1/4" Brass reducer
1/4" to 3/8" Brass fitting to connect to propane
Ball valve
0.35 mig tip
First firing of the burner just to see if it will work, I think it needs some tuning
Here are some pics:

Looking down the burner, you can see the MIG tip

Air compressor forge in progress....
I have Kaowool and Satanite on the way.
Air compressor inside.
I attached a pipe nipple after drilling a 2" hole using conduit rings. It seems solid....
