March 6, 200917 yr I built this forge in art school, 16 years ago. Deffinatly dosen't reach forge welding heat but its good for small stuff!
March 6, 200917 yr Cool, where'd you get the burner? I'll bet if you replace the refractory with Kaowool and ITC-100 it'll get darned close to welding heat, especially if you use an aggressive flux. Frosty
March 6, 200917 yr So was it an art project or used to make an art project?? cuz I really love the fire hose nozzle!! Cute l'il forge!
March 6, 200917 yr Author No, It wasn't an art project, it did make a few though. Although I did fab up the whole thing. Turned the jet and "flame holder" Dodge got it, I thought there was something ironic about a fire hose nozzle used backwards for a forge burner...
March 6, 200917 yr Ah HAH! I'll have to check and see what the ratio of the taper is. If it's 1:12 or a little less it's perfect. It looks a little over but that's an eyeball guestimation. Frosty
March 6, 200917 yr Author Frosty- I'll give it a measure next time I'm in the shop....but I think it's 3/8 at the orafice and 1.25 ID at the pipe.
March 6, 200917 yr Author Frosty, Turns out I had another piece using a fire nozzle. The measurements are: tip=1/2" lenght= 9 1/4" big end= 1 1/4". So, thats 3/4" gain in 9" or real close to 1:12!
March 6, 200917 yr Yes it is, maybe close enough. I wonder if you can get one that's 3/4" at the nozzle. Hmmm. Frosty
