Mikey98118 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 You have improved the flame again; bravo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksmith-450 Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Thanks Mike, I made a steel template to get a better alignment of the holes and I put a layer of duct tape between the tube and the flare to keep the thing straight during assembly. 2 little tricks that improve the product.

Mikey98118 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Sooner or later, this thread is going to join the others in the old files section. When it does, I hope you will post it in the Burners 101 thread, so it doesn;t get forgotten; that would be a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey98118 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Whether you are the cleverest burner builder or just the luckiest, I know not; nor do I care. it is plain that you can build a burner with an excellent flame with less work than mine, and I hope you will either build them commercially or show others what you know.

Frosty Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I have no suggestions. You've put together a BUNCH of darn consistent high performance burners. Will you be drawing up illustrated plans for other folk? Please? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksmith-450 Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 The built is very simple, in fact I followed the original plans found on the web... or almost ... 1 inch OD X 7 inches long 1.25 ID X 2 inches long 1/8 nipple X 2 inches long 3/8 hole at 1/2 inch of the top 3/8 hole at 1.25 and 2.75 inch, open to make a slot No. 60 drill bit to the jet. TIG Weld when to is fitted in place with a neutral flame I weld the end of the 1/8 nipple instead of using a cap The fitting is a NPT to 1/4 Tube to connect it to the gaz line For the commercial sale, I do not believe it ! I offered them on a Facebook page of local blacksmiths at $65 Cnd delivery included and I often got answered that they were able to do better at cheaper prices. I wish them good luck !...

Mikey98118 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Pay a couple of bucks to offer them on eBay. Make sure to show the burners running, and don't forget to challenge the competition to show their flames. Blacksmiths are just as capable of being airheads as any other group of people. If you like, I will endorse them. Your prices are more than reasonable for a burner that produces that flame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey98118 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 BLacksmith 450 states "I made a small production of burners and like our children, there are not 2 of them identical. It would take a lot of file work to fine-tune them all similar to one another, but I do not think that the result is worth the work?" For all practical purposes, the answer is no. Once any of these burners are heating a forge, the major impacts of their flames are nearly universal, and the minor differences are only of interest to maniacs like me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
