I have my regular gasser taken apart and I needed to fabricate a few small brackets.
So I slapped this together.

It is a pinto bean can with an inch of kao wool in the back and around the sides. the chamber is about 3 inches deep by an inch and a half wide.

I figured I could make another one a little bit bigger and properly stainite and itc100 the interior and give it to one of my nephews for a birthday or Christmas present

Neat. What are you using for the burner? It looks like a mig handle.

That's cool, good for small projects.

It's a soldering torch of one brand or another and an actual a real honest to goodness BEAN can.

I am SO happy to see traditional tools and equipment being kept alive and working this way.

Mapp Torch, or just plain run-of-the-mill propane torch? This coal burning dude could put a little setup like that to use on more than just rare occasions. I like.

The torch is a Bernzomatic JTH7 Hose Torch (JTH7)from Home Depot for about $25, running straight propane. after visiting their website, I see a new product, BZ8250 Trigger-Start Hose Torch, that would be nice for the trigger start.

with proper coatings and running MAPP , I could easily see welding temp in a matter of minutes

Pretty slick! But now I'll have to add this to my ever growing list of things I need to try.

This little this is a perfect size for making small hooks, leaves and such. I even joked with my wife about taking it on vacation with a small anvil and assortment of tools. You know, for those days that you get bored. And she thought that was a cool idea.:o

I've got one like that and use it for heat treating small blades. Nice not to have to fire up the large gasser for small stuff.

How well would it work if you cut the bottom (or a portion of) out to have both ends open?
Jim

The one I have both ends are open for convenience of longer items, the tail end it not as large as the mouth. When Im heat treating knives I slide it back and forth to eliminate hot spots. Actuall works well with smaller items.

Sounds like I need to make me one of those.
