Dear Kniven, a nice box forge, given its size well heated with two professional burners, maybe a little overkill.

Thanks for the lengthy reply with a lot of good advice!

maybe I can switch the hoses close to the burner for metal pipes. And for doors I’m planning to use bricks.

I realise it’s not an optimal forge, I found this website after I already built the forge so I missed out on a lot of great information. It’s been a trend for me during this build not knowing what I’m doing hehe.

But I hope I can learn from my mistakes and build a better forge in the future. Right now I’m  just really exited and want to try hitting some metal with a hammer. 

Thnx for all the pointers guys. Going to make the changes and start moving metal

Yes they are devil forge burners, thanks for the ideas. Will check if we have those Clips here in Sweden.

Flashback into a burner's mixing tube makes a distinct sound; I hear it in your video. turn up the gas pressure, and see if that solves the problem.

Thank you, Im planing to do some reading about burner tuning. Thats a good start

Should the main fuel be coming into the T and then going out of the 2 branches for a better pressure balance?

That sounds logical, don’t know why I didn’t think of that.

Just finished my first forge, I don’t know that much about plumbing do you guys think this looks alright?

The video does not seem to work, trying YouTube instead 

Ok... maybe I should just drop my pride and go with wool and throw out the bricks.

wish I found this site before I started

Maybe, but in your shoes, I would first look at what kind of emi-insulating refractory is available, and if glass bubble insulation is available to improve on it, first.

Never heard about glass bubble insulation I will check it out, another guy also recommended asking in pottery shops for soft bricks. So il do some searching before ordering from us amazon 

I think I will use this burner for a while and get some experience and then build a better forge and just re use the table\cart

Alright thank you for the advice. Still haven’t found soft bricks, guess I have to ship from America 

Update

I found a guy called Sam fowler that sells burner kits. Anyone here have any experience with his burners?

When you say 3/4 inch burner is that the nozzle diameter? Sorry for the dumb question.

What is the internal volume of your forge?  

It’s 296,7 In³

The Devil Forge burners are great for their price.

What size of burner would you recommend? They have sizes in smal, medium and large but I have no idea what that relates to.

the forge inner size is 296,7 In³

If you choose one of their low end models, you can get your money's worth, but they are not to be considered as "turn-key" equipment.

Alright, do you know any other brands that would be better? Since I’m a complete beginner I feel that a lot of stuff about this craft and the information I find on this forum is above my head so a “turn-key” variant sounds appealing.

IIRC Morgan Thermal Ceramics has a European division but I could be wrong. 

They look promising, I’ve sent them an email. Thanks for the advice!

It looks like the bricks you might be able to get those bricks out of the housing without cutting any welds.  Is that the case?

Yes the housing is just placed on top of the bricks so I can easily replace them.

im having trouble finding the stuff I get recommended to buy here in Europe.

I can find k26 on eBay but it costs double the amount of the cost of the bricks to ship them to Sweden. 

And the the same goes for different types of refractories, most places don’t even ship to Europe. 

But thnx for the advice I will try to up my google game and find resellers or alternatives in the eu 

Started building after doing some research online looking through several dead blacksmithing forums and reddit. Did not find this place until after I started. Wish that I did because than I would have changed the material in my oven.

right now it’s lined with hard firebricks on the inside and the floor.

I’m looking for some guidance now about buying burners. 

I have found a seller here in Europe named devil forge but since I’m a complete noob I have no idea which model burner I should order. I’m thinking that I will buy two burners.

Do you guys have any advice?

Hello guys I've just started building my first gas forge and I'm looking to coat my firebricks with Plistix 900f or itc100 but I'm having trouble finding sellers in Europe. 
Do I have any fellow Europeans in here that can point me in the right direction? 

I think I posted in the wrong section, how do I delete my post?
