Welcome aboard Blue Lady, glad to have you. I'm sort of the wrong person to make suggestions. You've followed someone's plans pretty well, have you asked them?

Hi Frosty.... actually we didn't follow anyone specifically we created our own plans after looking at days of YouTube videos ... thanks for the feedback though. This pic is from this morning when we tested a peice of metal.

Good Morning LB,

It doesn't sound excessively noisy, it sounds normal.

Hello Neil, 

Cool to know about dragon breath.  I don't have much flames comming out mostly heat after initial ignition.

I also didn't know about the NWBA. I'll look them up. Thank you.

Hello, new member here, 

So we just built my 1st forge. It's a propane ribbon burner forge. It's a bit larger than some because I want to do armor making not just your typical knife and tool making. It's very beautiful however it does tend to make a lot of noise. I'm wondering if it is the mix of gas and air or if There's something else I can do to reduce the noise. There are actually 2 baffles in the system,  one in the pipe and one in the burner. (Pic of the one in the burner)

The  Body and doors and floor  have an  inch and a 1/2 of Kayo wool covered with an inch of  Refractory cement. There are 2 controls for the air. So even if I have the Vents  closed on the blower I can reduce the air even more. There is a valve on the pipe to allow  Adjustment of the propane seperate from the regulator.. the other issue we found is the metal on the front keeps bowing when hot, we have yet to attach the front door, and are trying to figure out what to do about this. 

Additionally

We will also add a retractable roll bar to the front and handle on the back door.  Thank you in advance for your help and feedback.
