keithh999 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 got my new miniforge (6" dia X 10" long) fired up the other day using an oliver upwind burner....was at welding heat in under 10 minutes and i didnt even use ITC-100. Now i just have to tune my two burner forge to get that kinda heat outa it. pics enclosed if anyone is interested. btw i used a #60 as the orifice not the 57-58 he recommends.

RainsFire Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 sweet, where did you find the plans for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentin Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Seems that you have done a nice job i still can't get my forge at welding point or for some reason i just can't weld with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithh999 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 i got the basic plans from backyard metalcasting and then modified to my particular needs....one note ...when drilling the #60 or greater orifice drill slow and clean the chips often so you dont break that teeny tiny drillbit...i used a 1/8 brass nipple for my feeder tube...a bit easier to drill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about some pics of and specs for the burner? I haven't heard of Oliver before, is there a URL? Details of how you build your forge, like refractory, insulated or not, etc. etc. Thanks, Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
