    JF#1 Burner?

    No real testing yet but I did plumb everything up and test it, this is by far the very best forge I have built yet.

    JF#1 Burner?

    Ill post some results after I get the forge up and running but it will be a few weeks. I would point out that alot of the results will be based on my forge itself and how well it works so you really wont get any true science on just the burners.

    forge material questions

    I have one made out of flu pipe, its dirt cheap and easy to do. I am working on a 2 stage PID controlled forced air unit like one of the guys on here did, I decided to make the forge body a bit larger as the 8inch pipe is just a bit to small for what i want to do.

    What's come off the mountain lately...

    I'm very drawn to your knives, I like the hidden tang styles most of all. Everything about them appeals to me from the blade finish to the handles and everything in between. You did a button guard knife with a clip point blade awhile back that is if i had to pick a single knife......my favorite.
