Something that may work... My jet orifice size I believe is .035 mig tip. Someone mentioned if I go to a smaller orifice it will give me a smaller flame for the amount of pressure. Sounds reasonable to me? Also as I mentioned earlier I want the forge to reach weld temps. I think its reasonable...

After playing with the files for about two hours I got them on youtube, I hope this works! Thanks for all the help and suggestions so far! its appreciated! As much as I would love to start a new forge or burner type... ive been working on this one for about ten years, a lot of time, cost, and...

Seems like the best way to go but yes... As soon as I click the video file to upload to youtube, youtube just crashes and sends me back to my desktop.

I cant... Ive searched the foum and cant seem to find the info for it. First my video was too big... So I compressed it. Now it says my extension type isnt allowed... Its .mp4 I see other mp4s here... So idk. What size and type is allowed? I tried to embed with youtube, that just crashes...

Thanks! Its a bit awkard to exlain without the video... I managed to reduce the video size but now it says mp4 isnt an allowed Extension. Now im trying to find info on what extension is alowed for videos.

Heres a video of the first run in this forge... Propane tank body. Dual burner. Both gauges set too 30psi It now has air control. The start of the video I open one burner to 5psi, light it and adjust it as close as I can get to a neutral flame. If I go higher than 5psi the flame is about...

Sorry for the late replies. Things here are pretty busy lately. I believe I may have the forge burner issue sorted! Hopefully ill know later today and ill post an update and proper replies as soon as I can. I completely changed out the gas hoses. Now its a 10' with a new high pressure regulator...

Im wishing Imhad gone with the ribbon burner design. It seems far more efficient... But ill have to save that for my next build.

The gauge is downstream... So take one of those off and use it in place of the old guage at the tank. I was just thinking that, the fitting behind the tank gauge must be a regulator... I mean I just figured it was, it looks like one to me but ive never quite seen one like that. Gets me...

The burners are Reil buners... Not sure I made them exactly to plan, It was ages ago. Not the 70s mind you lol The fittings could be quite old... Hand me down tanks and parts. The forge body does make sense... Ill give that a shot, and the altitude YES! That never crossed my mind but I went...

The main tank gauge is a 30psi and always reads 15psi. The burner gauges go up to 60psi but during this test they read 0-1psi. My feeling is its the tank gauge but it worked before... And idk what could be wrong with it.

So I got my burners hooked up and did a test burn. They worked before... I have the old original 30psi regulator/gauge and hose. Now when I try to light them... It seems like they have WAAAAY too much pressure. What happens is... I open my valves just a crack not even 1 pound on my gauge...it...

Im kind of thinking my current propane forge setup is a bit... Sketchy. Im a welder but what little I know about propane connections is based on what ive pieced together myself. I have many questions and tried to find a primer or propane basics explained online but nothing. Things like what...

Thanks! It looks like thos sites might have what I need.

I just moved from one coast of Canada to the other... This new province is a bit of a piss off. Where I ised to live I could find anything! Here... Nothing. I need a new propane line for my forge and... Ive discovered this province doesnt sell propane hoses or fittings. According to the propane...

Some more good points!

That makes sense.

I may have asked this before but cant find anything. These two handle types I can never decide between... Pros and cons. The concave type seems unnatural BUT is still fairly comfortable. The convex style fits the hand better but seems less popular for some reason. Im really wondering the pros...

I posted a while back about my attempts at ferrich chloride etch. It looked ok... But I tabled it for now because idk how to describe it. The greyish black coating from the acid has a powdery feel and it rubs off with a towel... I know that some of it is supposed to rub off... But "so much"...

I have a general idea of how a bearing balisong is put together... But I cant find a more in depth breakdown. Like... I assume the bearings are press fit into some sort of depression or bearing race... Then held in place by pressure of being sandwiched between the blade and handle? Could...
