November 15, 20205 yr So I looked around a lot before making this and getting the frame done finally yesterday. Frosty T burner was finished some time last week. It's a start. I did a JABOD too and really only fired it up one day. It will also work fine, but I'm a work in progress for patience and knew I'd eventually get to gas.
November 16, 20205 yr The forge interior is orange; a very promising sign. Your next step should be a nice heat" reflecting" coating; this can be as inexpensive as Plistex, or one of the costlier homemade coatings you can find on this site. A good coating should improve your next interior photo to yellow hot; saving you lots of fuel bucks. snfand pounding time.
December 13, 20205 yr Author Finally got it lined with Plistix. Seems to set up fast. Are there thoughts on when it can be fired up again?
December 13, 20205 yr The plistix dried in my forge within twelve hours then I gave it another coat and waited 24 hrs just to be sure. Pnut
December 14, 20205 yr Author Thanks Pnut. I don't think I'll get t o fire it up before Friday. Possibly tomorrow if I get off early enough. I have some tong blanks sitting at the post office - finally. Took 13 days to get from Ken's in Minnesota to my post office in Ohio. Not Ken's fault - they had them out the next day. So I might get those turned out tomorrow afternoon.
