I need some good ideas for tooling to hold small pieces on the anvil while I punch, stamp etc. I am open to any ideas. Thanks, Mike

Thanks for all the input. My burners point straight down to the floor, not on an angle. My flame is a nice bright blue coming out of the burner to the floor of the forge. I have blocked up to 1/2 the burner air opening and can't tell very much difference. I can turn the flame a liitle yellow as it comes out of the openings. Could I have too much open door area? I have a front and a rear opening. Thanks again everyone! Mike

I laid a piece of steel across my burners to reduce airflow. When I first put in on and adjust the location, I could get yellow tips. But then they go away. Do you mean the dragons breath coming out of the forge should be yellow or the flame directly out of the burner? I still got the red oxide on my small parts but not larger ones. I am running about 9 psi for 1/4" material. Thanks for the help. Mike

I thought maybe it was me and not the forge. Not all my work gets the oxidation. I also do not know how to change the air/fuel ratio on my forge. I do tend to run lower gas pressure because I mainly do small work. Thanks for the ideas.

I have a 2 burner propane forge. I recently was making hooks and when I would remove them from the forge and do my last work on them they look like they oxidize right away. It looks like rust and is in random places. The steel is new and clean when I start. What am I doing wrong? Any ideas would be appreciated.:confused:
