Duster

I missed these responses.. be busy playing with the forge. I did get it to run with an adjustable regulator but I was only able to get one that goes up to 20psi around here, I'll have to order a 30psi one. It runs pretty good for about 30 minutes then the front burner starts chuffing. This is probably my issue now, they get red hot. I will remove them and see what happens. Yes that is 1/4" steel plate. The top part sits on top of the bottom part so it is possible the heat could escape between the two but it would have to travel about 5" where it would be met with flat steel and the exterior stays decently cool. The upper part is lined with fire brick/refractory and then kao wool. The underside is lined with fire brick/refractory. I do have a 30lb tank. I am planning on doing that. Right I'm just using something temporary to support it. I designed the base to be a coal forged and then added the top. The plan is to cast a plug to go in there or I might just cover the floor in fire bricks. I'm planning on adding doors later, right now I'm just stacking up fire brick. I'll have to look into the Teflon tape. Good call. If i continue having issues I will try that. It was but I have been using it like that a bit lol as suggested I am going to remove the flares and hopefully that will help. Yes this was a case of "Better to have it" lol I am interested in making swords so that's why the length. I can already see it's more than necessary, I will probably make a smaller one later. I really appreciate all the responses! I will keep you posted

Yea I wondered if that was the case. Thanks

Hello all, I just finished building a 3 burner frosty t forge and every time I try to light it the flame jumps up into the T. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, I got it to run for a little bit but just once. I have one of those regulators like they have on BBQ's I'm not sure if that is correct. I'm using .30 mig tips and a 3/4" - 1" reducer. 20230218_223853.mp4 20230218_223815.mp4
