    Learning how to forge, working on old cars, shooting things.
  1. I used that YouTuber's build to buy my supplies because A) he built closest to Frosty's instructions and he had links to each item so I could order them without having to visit my local HD and deal with the infected. I'm asking for help here because this is where Frosty posted his instructions and there seems to be a wealth of information and here, so I thought this would be the best place to ask about it. As for the tee, yes it is a 1x1x3/4, per the YouTuber's supplies list. About the flame going out, yes, the flame seems to either move away from the burner (into the forge) or back up the burner. I'd get a video of it, but I'm starting to get the impression that videos aren't really liked around here.
  2. When I light at a lower pressure the flame keeps trying to go out. I'll keep trying though. I'm not sure what you mean by "Hard brick splits used for forge body?" I used these bricks to build the forge. I'll trim up the mig tip some more tomorrow. I normally do try to limit any changes that I make to new things too one thing, because like you said, you'll never know which one did what if you change more than one. Haven't had a chance to work on it more yet, been working on trying to figure out a new noise on my truck. I did include still pics (it, at least, a link to them) in my previous post. I included the link to the video because the still pics don't really convey the sound the flame is making as well as a video does.
  3. Ok, I shortened the mig tip. I may have gotten it a little too short, but I'm not sure. Here are a couple of pics of the trimmed jet and the resultant flame. I've also included a video to show how it looks and sounds once the forge has heated up.
  4. Sorry for the delay, sleep was necessary. Here are a couple of pics of my burner setup. Looking at the one of the mig tip, I notice that I trimmed it back at a little bit of an angle and I'll need to fix that.
  5. I just finished building a Frosty Tee burner and I'm trying to get it tuned up. So far, I can't seem to keep it lit unless I have the pressure up around 25 or 30 psi. Even then, it sounds more like a pulse jet than a burner. I've trimmed the mig tip (.035) just a little, but I don't want to keep trimming if that's not the direction I need to go. Here is a video of the forge "running." Thanks in advance.
