Well now I’m confused , I m just starting out and was gonna build charcoal forge but after watching your video I just might try building one like your. That’s a very nice gas forge. Like those door’s really good. Thanks. 👍💯

That is a very well built forge! I think I will make something similar one day!

Thanks, Let me know when you will be building it. I can give you some tips after I test this forge long-term.

Hi mate, yeah isn't it a great forge, never ever seen a fire brick being used for a ribbon burner, top Idea.

Very nice design. I like the levers for the doors a lot that’s a good design and the extra air wall for flames is brilliant I’ve never seen that. All around good design

I'm building a ribbon burner, I looked at a lot of.builds. I think over all your set up is one of the best. Thanks for showing and teaching folks like me Sir thanks:

Excelent forge build. Thanks for sharing.

That's gotta be one of the most ingenious designs I've ever seen for a gas forge. You've thought of everything!

Nice forge! Need to built something like that. And nice forging press. To many projects... But its always nice to make your own tools and machines. Keep up the good work. Bart

The people that have built their own inspired me to build my own instead of buying one thank you my welding not the best but it's holding up pretty good

Fantastic design dude! I love your sliding doors.

I really love this project. Big thanks for the inspiration

Excellent build. I love ribbon burners.

Love your doors, and ribbon burner as I to am building. .Love your air curtain, good thinking Sir. I don't think your insulation and coating is going to protect from hot temps of over 2,000 degrees

Nice build - Well done - Thank You for sharing!!!

Saw this before, and it is a great system to copy I'm need smaller, but I'll try to copy the door system it great Thanks

Well thats quiet the set up there sirSir. Interested in seeing how well she works for you. Blessings abundant to u, Crawford out 🧙‍♂️

konstruksi yang bagus terimakasih atas penjelasanya 👍🙏

You are a designer! Perfect

This is epic, good work fella!

Super! Another great video! )))

Good job. Very nice. I will make it in the future

Tak to je velká paráda, ty drobné vychytávky se mi moc líbí, to se fakt povedlo :-)

That's brilliant I bet it is a lot better now

Very nice build, I am getting ready to build myself a ribbon burner forge and will be stealing some inspiration from yours for sure.... Only thing that I would say you missed is a gas solenoid valve as a safety shutoff if you lose the blower.

Realy interesting forge clean and you can move it next to work. Did you try to melt aluminum.

On large forced air natural gas burners for industrial curing ovens we regulate the fan's air inlet with an adjustable block off plate. The sound from the fan mat increase slightly as the inlet is reduced and I've heard many times this has to be an increase in load but it's actually the fan's rpm increasing from having to do less work. This inlet air is used as one of the flame settings for performance and controlling the exhaust pollutants. I've always had to include an exhaust fan to outside the building and control its volume to keep the oven slightly negative to stop any exhaust from entering the building. Our doors are always sealed during the process so a different story but something to consider if you find you're blacking out too often. Or maybe you have one now and your fuzzy looking paint is because I've had too many fumzzzzzz Zzz Zzz Very interesting is the thought you've put into getting it to do what you want it to. Peace.

Im loving it. Can you share the design please

Hallo Karl, Really nice build ,how do you find economy on gas?also, do you reach welding temp for mild steel? Or even wrought iron? I must say that your hydraulic press is so cool! Cheers Christo

great design

I really like your design and there are some nice feaures! I'll think i'll have to copy some... Would you mind to share some more details on your Burner? I'm also building a forge but not quite happy with mine - i'll think its oversized... I'm using 2"/5cm pipes an the burner itself is a bit bigger (: would you tell me, wich diametre your using? And how powerful your blower is? And how high is your fuel-consumption for forge welding temperature? Thanks a lot...

Well done. Rich with practical features and could be easily scaled up in size. What is the tempter rating on the fire brick for the ribbon burner?

@KarlMetalworks

5 жыл бұрын

Thanks, I think the bricks are good up to 1300 celsius. But most of the time, the burner brick is cooled down by the air/fuel mixture.

Gee I like that forge well done, so the ribbon burner is just a hard fire brick that you drilled out and encased it in a steel box, do you think the brick wil stand up to all the heat pretty well. Time will tell I suppose.?

@KarlMetalworks

Thanks. I think the brick will be ok. People usually make ribbon burners by casting, but I was to lazy to cast it and I wanted to try this easier method. Time will tell, but so far its just fine.

I'm looking to build a similar volume forge using a similarly sized ribbon burner. What kind of blower did you use? I am having trouble finding an appropriate blower for a reasonable price
