Heyas everyone!
First off... thank you for all of your encouragement and information. Here's the result of our first go at building a gas forge a la 'cart'... you'll see what I did there. It gets hot, it makes things glow, and it makes the mother nervous... so we must be on the right track. Would you all take a peek and offer suggestions to our design? Ultimately, my son, Nick, wants the ability to forge weld, but it seems like we're just a little shy of that mark as of right now.
In a couple of the images below I've placed a good ol' Coke can in frame for reference, but belatedly realized that most of you know the size and shape of every brick ever made and mumble them in your sleep.
So... what could we do better? What are we doing wrong from the outset? And most importantly, what do you need to know to answer these questions - we're as new as new can be, but we'd like to do it right.
Cheers!
Troy and Nick
