Darn that's like .7 of 1mm. I'm pretty sure that's less than my saw blade hmm? If I'm able to do that do these torch tip files carve the hole back out (I've never used one). Curious because I cut a piece off of an older tip for test and it completly closed the hole

Don't use a saw. Use a single cut file or fine sand paper. Then clean the orifice with the tip file. You NEED a torch tip file set, it has an index of round files for cleaning the orifices of torch tips. The ends are smooth so you can CAREFULLY select THE file that is the same size as the orifice BEFORE you shorten it. Then gently use the file to open and clean burr left by filing out of the orifice. It will only take a couple strokes. If you over do it it will change the shape or size of the orifice and screw up the shape of the gas jet.

Awesome thank you so much looks like I gotta go buy few more tools will update when I get it changed

Update slowly wearing that back and finally got my ledges put on for brick doors on each end. Does it being closed make a difference on tuning?

But here's what it's at now 

Your tuning is fine; I'm looking at a great flame.

Woohoo thank you everybody for the help been having a little fun in between shortenings

Now dark and time to be done darn but from that to this

As soon as you get a chance, please brace the forge stand so it CAN NOT tip over. It looks way too tall for the size of the base.

I have to agree with Glenn. It looks pretty tippy. If you weld four pieces of square tube on the bottom so it looks like a square with arms sticking off it will stabilize it considerably. You don't want it to take a tumble when it's up to full heat. Hot pieces of fire bricks bouncing around is a bummer.

Yes that was what I was going to do next. Thank you everyone for the help and the info

Here's a picture of what I meant as the description wasn't the best.

I'm sure you probably already have your design worked out. This one I'm sure isn't the best but it's an option. Post some pics when you get it finished. Good luck and it's looking great so far.
