Making a gas forge

--- Quote from: TRiggs on January 12, 2019, 09:30:59 am ---Just a little tip, you should remove the feet on your forge and re-weld them so that your torches are straight up and down. Your torches come in at a 1:30 position and blow to a 7:30 position that means your heat goes that way also your going to want your heat right in the center where your metal is gong to be sitting you will save gas and heat your metal faster.

I was told to have them come in at an angle like that to get the heat swirling around the chamber.
KHalverson:
looks good with the refractory cement.
it should keep the inswool stabilized very well.
if your gonna forge weld ya might wanna put a hard fire brick in the bottom as a sacrificial floor.
flux will break down some refractory materials.
osage outlaw:
I will have extra refractory left over. I was going to build some forms and make a few bricks from it to use as a replaceable floor. I'm going to do a second coat of refractory and then the IR reflective coating.
osage outlaw:
I did a second layer of the refractory cement today. I added extra to the bottom to make a flat surface. I will need to let it dry out for a good while before moving on to the final step. It's almost finished. I have 4 lbs of refractory left. I should be able to make several bricks for the bottom.
KHalverson:
that looks really good!
im watching this with anticipation cause I need to build a new forge.
