Case_8 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Lets see if this works: After days of trouble shooting, I decided to reconfigure my forge design. It was a real *unfun process. After 6 snapped drill bits, 3 whole saw bits burned up, and a whole lot of elbow grease, I was able to pound out the old burners I had originally cast in refractory and welded in. From the advice I found on here, I went “back to the drawing board,” and found Reils original schematic. I’m now trying to stick to that as much as possible. Had some buddies over who helped me try to flare out the burner flares to replace my temp set up. 4A54E0D2-4F73-42FC-AC24-001911D34D14.MOV E4602E44-5419-494A-A37D-6F02684FFC8A.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Case_8 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 So the videos wont post for some reason. Can anybody direct me to instructions for doing this properly? thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey98118 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I just watched your video; it was very short. What is your question? If it was to be "how are the burners doing," that is heard to say. It would be easier to judge their flames out in the open. Since you made flame retention nozzles for them, just snap a photo and don't worry about providing us with a video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Case_8 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Hmmm. Def a problem with loading the videos then. One is the burner setup in its temporary position, the next is a video of flaring the new burner flares on my RR anvil. The goal was to ask a couple questions- if I’ve read correctly, I should move my burners to the side of the forge as opposed to TDC, AND angle them down so they target the near side of the middle? Currently looking for pics of the proper setup. Question 2- when I lit the front burner, it would stay lit for only like 5 seconds, then blow out. Eventually we got the flame to “stick” Is that just a warming issue? Once its warm it’ll stay lit? Thanks, Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Case_8 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Also Mikey, I have a 2” to 3/4 reducer on the air inlet. Is there a disadvantave to this large of an opening? Should I switch it over to 1 1/2? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey98118 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 No; it is about right. Most guys use an undersized reducer; you didn't. Top dead center isn't as good a burner position as angled; it's a matter of preference, rather than a case of right or wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
