I know all of my questions have been answered hundreds of times before, its just I find 100 different answers.
Question:
Which forge and burner is the best all around forge?
I first am stuck between a vertical or a horizontal. I *THINK* I could do casting with a vertical??? as for traditional horizontal, I think I have decided on a round one though Ive read the shape only matters for heat up, once the work goes in the shape does not matter anymore? Single burner or two? I think I built my first forge way to long. I also have a coal forge I built that I use also, this way I do have a backup plan for pieces that don't really fit in the propane forge.
Then the burners, I think I've decided on building 1 or 2 T-REX burners as I hear they are the most fuel efficient.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
What I forge:
Im a hobbiest nothing more, I currently am forging fireplace tool sets, tongs, leafs and hooks, things like that.I want to someday forge a sword, but it won't be what I get excited over, I found I'm not as interested in making knives as I have been in making towel holders, banana holders, and more artistic things. Im not 100% sure what I want to do as I'm only a year in and still learning.
Current Forge:
My current forge is a two burner setup that is able to forge weld but I designed with several flaws. Now that my skill has evolved, my back burner has been acting up and become unusable. One of the flaws was I did not make it so it would be maintainable very well, welded instead of having a collar for mounting. So instead of messing around with it anymore I will build a new one. This one also uses a lot of fuel, I think, nothing to compare it to.
