Once again :D :D :D . The dummy missed the webshots link. I'll wake up someday, maybe. Thanks always.
 
won't let me click on the link.....I'm forbidden to see George's 1.5 inch nipples and 6" elbows.....:eek:
 
Thanks again, George. I'll do my best.
 
Like your forge drawing. Jim Fagan helped me build my first one and he had me just leave the opening of the 1/8" for the gas line opening and it works great. I also saw someone who used a piece of twisted flat welded inside the final nipple. This has the effect of giving a circular motion to the gases on entering the forge. I'll sure add that to my next one.

George's forge plans are great. I went up one day and he helped me build my first blower forge, then I made a second. Now I've got on for forging and one for welding.
;)
 
They are pretty easy to make. I can build one complete in under 3 hours. I will be building one for my friend Jay M. in the very near future and going to do a tutorial so Darren Ellis can put it on his website.

Hey I.G., was that a freudian slip? Never future!? :D :D

I appreciate you doing that for my website, and I know that a lot of people will get a lot of use from it...thank you.

Looking at your drawing plan, it's funny how we all build these forges basically as a variation on the same theme, I guess what works, works! :)

I've been playing around with an idea for a better mixer for these blower forges....a way to get a much longer path length for the gas and baffles to aid in mixing even more, in a very compact space. When I build it, if it works, I'll send you the info to check out...

:)

Darren: I was thinking (scary) of putting a 1" auger in the 1 1/2" pipe before it goes into the forge.
 
On my welding forge the PSI are at 4# and it gets up to temp under 10 minutes

Geeze.......It's taking 7-8 for mine. I have a new project to build!
Thanks George!
 
Actually I think the press helps George with the heat too. My forge is identical to his and mine welds at about 6-7 psi. I'm hoping to get a press together and play with that theory.
:D
 
I've been thinking about either a triphammer or a press myself J. So many toys, so little time! :D
 
I'm going for the more-toys-the-better plan Peter. Tess...yes Tess... has offered to build me a press (I'll have to do the welding) and if anyone knows her, she'll do it. I'm planning on just using the little giant for forging by the end of the summer.
:D

I.G. sounds like a good plan, that's what I currently do (or at least it is something very similiar) but put it in a bell reducer before it exits to the actual burner tube going into the forge...anything to aid in mixing of the air/gas. My idea consists of building a box with multiple baffles and 90 degree turns in it to give the mixture a longer path length in a smaller space and the baffles/90 degree turns will assist in mixing. I imagine a box on the order of 8" long by about 3 - 4 inches deep would give enough room to enclose the baffles, etc. This should give something like an additional 24" of path length for the gas/air mixture as well as an additional 5 or 6 90 degree turns to assist with mixing along with the internal baffles that would create more turbulence. Anyway, it's just an idea at this point, it'll probably be a while before I have the extra time to work up a few prototypes to test out, but in principle it sounds like a good idea...

J. I have the pyrometer in the forge and it get to 2400 deg. with 4#. Maybe I can weld at 4# is that I am sea level. Just for the hell of it drill out another cap .003 to .004 thousands bigger that the 1/8" we put into yours. :confused: :confused:
 
J. I really don't know :confused: :confused: But the caps only cost $.75 so why not try it. I read it some where I think ( Scary) :D
