July 28, 200718 yr Hi all. I am putting together a one-brick forge so I can make a couple of one off woodworking blades that I need. My understanding is that the regular bernzomatic plumber's style propane torches will not work. Would the mapp gas torch like the below one work? On 3/8" O1?Trigger Start Torch Kit (I have a regular coal forge too. This is just to prove a point to someone.)

A bernzomatic should get you into the low yellow anyway if you use light brick, maybe a bit more if you use a kiln brick. More heat easier with mapp though of course. Frosty
