Het Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I'm starting a 20# propane tank forge build, and remembered that I had two 10# tanks left from my camping days. Seems like it would be perfect for blade making. I was thinking about building a forge with it, and using the T burner in the half inch configuration, and one burner instead of two. Has anyone tried the 10# tank build? I see people discussing freon tanks, but I'm not familiar with those. I'm using one of those ebay/Russian forges now. I'm really enjoying the whole process. Here are a few pics of the forge I'm using now, as well as my first knife build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey98118 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Many guys have built what we cal mini-forges from smaller tanks and 1/2" burners; they are a favorite with knife makers. Ron Reil wrote up an account (with photos) of how he built his; you can find it on the Net. Frosty's "T" burners in 1/2" size have been used in many mini-forges, so you are on track.
