August 14, 20178 yr I made a small knife forge from a small urethane tank and one of my Oliver Burner. The size of the room is 4.5 inches by 9 inches long. I put a brick to protect the wool because the water glass began to melt and stick on the piece of metal. My first idea was to copy the small model of Devil Forge that we see on ebay. At 12 psi, I was able to do a job bigger than a knife. The hammer I made proof this.
August 15, 20178 yr Charles, it looks like that urethane tank is smaller than a helium or a refrigerant tank. Blacksmith, I suggest that you check out the attachment Build a Gas Forge at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. I recommend casting the interior of the forge with Kast-0-Lite and then paint over that with a pint of Metrikote IR. The brick is a heat sink and the Kast-0-Lite is resistant to the effects of flux. Let me know if I can help you. Check my profile for my e-mail addy and phone # Wayne
