November 18, 20187 yr My latest tool. After a lot of research looking for the most efficient design, went ahead with the ribbon burner forge. Used the same forge container (old safe) that I used for 2 years on charcoal. 4cm thick refractory bricks on the walls, 2cm on top and hight temp silicone to fill the gaps. I had empty oxygen bottles from my oxy torch, with 73mm in diameter, those became the ai/fuel duct. Welded a 1/2" steel bushing and a cap with 5mm whole for the gas outlet. All aluminium butterfly valve, ol' lady hairdryer, high pressure regulator with manometer and 24 lb/11 kg propane tank . I'm very satisfied with this forge, it is easy to light, easy to control the heat for forging or HT and there´s little maintnence involved. I'ts amazing how well this thing works, better than I expected... Black snout, smoke smelling clouthes, burnt metal and mess allover the floor are a thing of the past. Goodbye charcoal!!
