blacksmith-450 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 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.

Charles R. Stevens Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Don't they use esentualy the same tank for helium and refrigerant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneCoeArtistBlacksmith Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
