Would it work to drill the nozzle with a 1/16 of an inch bit
This is the cleanest flame I've seen on burner videos. Great job.
I really appreciate the content, super informative. I'm new to forging/blacksmithing. I'm going to give this a try. The one thing I wish you would have clarified is the process of the propane end of the burner. I'm kinda lost on the configuration. Thanks again man.
I made this following your instructions but used a 1/2 cap, 1.5 inch to 1 inch reducer coupling, 1 inch pipe and a 1.5mm hole for the orifice with a 10 pound regulator and it worked very well! Thank you for your contributions to the DIY community! I was just about to give up on making my own burner after my old one with the same regulator failed to produce a blue flame. I think my problem was the amount of airflow in the old system that reused a burner from a furnace with a 1" coupling welded on. I still ordered the new regulator because I want to see how hot I can make it but overall a wild success! Thank you again!
My Grandpa taught me that the three holes in the drill chuck weren't there for convenience and that they were all three supposed to be used when tightening down on the drill bit. After that Drill bits didn't spin nearly as much. great video as always..

That would work, but you would need a very long drill bit and have to line it up on both sides. The way he did it lowers the tolerances.
I’ve watched at least 15 of these on how to make a burner, and I think this one has been the most simplest and comprehensive covering all the unknowns. So after months of trying to decide on the right burner today I started buying the parts, though I AM curious why so many people use the welding tips drilled out yet this one works just fine with a quarter inch plug drilled out with a “60k bit” Which by the way seems to be about 2.65 mm. Hard to find locally but Amazon did have it for about eight dollars in tungsten. Thanks for making it sensible and doable. The flame seems to look right for the square forge I’ll soon weld up. I hope the lack of a Venturi doesn’t impair.
Very nice video Mate. Thanks for that. One of the Best Step by Step descriptions right here. The burner System is very good and Works like you said

I just test fired my burner based on your design last night. Worked perfectly. Now I can start building my gas forge. I made two changes, however. First was to the end cap. I drilled and tapped it to take a mig tip. The other was to the squared coupler. I used the drill press to put four dinples in where the screws that hold the burner tip assembly can seat themselves. My thinking was that this way I don't have to over tighten in order to prevent the assembly from shifting. Regardless, greatly appreciate you taking the time to research and make a video on the subject. Stay safe. Cheers.

Nice video with the exception your internal flare needs to be black pipe and NOT galvanized. Zinc poisoning can kill you. The galvanized coupler on the back doesn't matter it's not directly exposed to the flame. I know you said you'd probably only use it outside but still, many who watch this wouldn't/don't know that.

in the correct envireonment, this temp flame can be used to get to welding temp, however the refractory materials and forge shape have to be pretty efficient. i suggest a dual set up of this, by using the 30psi regulator and adding a tee for a second burner, you wont need as long to get steel to welding temp with two, and it could pretty handily liquify the steel in an efficient forge/ foundry
Made one the other day, used a number 54 drill bit. With a 20psi regulator it rips. Flame is about 12" long and hot as hell. Thanks for the video and parts list, cheers 🍻
I’m curious about how much propane usage you get from this. I appreciate the tutorial and added an air regulator on the jet portion to be able to get a better control on the air flow through the reducer (just a piece of 16 g steel with the corners folded over and a hole drilled in the center with a small slot cut in it and a spiraled wire around the jet to twist open and closed for specific air flow control. But even without the air regulator, it burns through propane at an alarming rate. Would be interested in shooting around a few ideas with you.

But.... Think of making a Video of trying the process. Scrap length of Aluminum and say a 1/4-20 tap. Not really necessary to keep everything locked down super tight. When you drilled out the Brass Plug you let it float a bit. In tapping that "float" is o.k. Just keep downward pressure and with no power you can stop the chuck by hand it you need to. Still have to back it out by hand but much faster than hand tapping both ways. In joy!
Thanks for the video. Very instructive. I do have a couple of questions if you don’t mind answering.1. How long will a 20# propane tank run using this burner?2. Is there any value in being able to control air flow too? Or enhance it?3. Is there some reference you would recommend to getting a deeper understanding on why this works as well as it appears to? Right now it all seems like a black art and would like to understand the science behind it.

They rarely show how the burner performs in an enclosed furnace without additional air to support the flame. That is the question. Does the burner draw enough air for a strong and efficient flame in an enclosed furnace?

That "cheap steel" is in fact ductile iron or malleable cast iron. You can tell by the chips when you are drilling it. Steel will spiral, even with a dull bit. Cast will give a granular chip just like the ones you got. Home Depot doesn't normally carry steel fittings as they cost more and few if any would ever know the difference. A better way to mount your burner gas jet might been to have used a 1 1/4" pipe plug with a hole drilled in the centre big enough for your gas jet to go through. Since the pipe plug has a 4 sided boss cast onto it you just drill and tap one hole to retain your gas nozzle. To get your air flow just drill 4 or 5 suitable holes through the plug around the boss. Much stronger and less likely to fall apart.

Very cool. I just made one like yours but with a 5 psi regulator from a turkey fryer (I’ll get a bigger one, but I had it on hand) and it actually works well. The flame it puts out is about 2/3-3/4 what yours does. It should be enough for my small forge.
I have found that when drilling soft metals it is much better to grind the cutting surface of the bit to a - 5 to 10 degree angle as to the face you will avoid the catching or grabbing effect at the end of your drill as it punches through. What is happening is as you go through the end of your cut the face angle vs the cut angle are too inclined and the softer metals tend to let the drill dig in too quickly. If you reduce the angle of attack it will not tend to pull in as the surface begins to punch through the last portion of your cut therefore reducing the likelihood of your tool ceasing at the end of the punch. Good vid and thanks for filling me in on the foundry. keep it up.

I built this, and it works great, except I built a 2 burner system. I used a Mr heater high pressure regulator. It gives 20 PSI, and it's more than enough to run both burners. So I would assume the one you used would also be plenty for a 2 burner system.
Good show as always, thanks for sharing!
Why do you sound like AvE :D
Not bad. Unfortunately you cannot run this type of burner with forced induction. I used a tee and brought my propane into the side of the tee and used a .6mm mig tip for a nozzle. Super efficient and runs way longer on way less gas. No brass needed in my setup either. Everyone copies Majestic or Diamondback forges. Those need about 30 psi of propane to get up to forge welding temperature, mine achieves the same temp at 6 psi. I run mine at 3 psi for forging. Also...as stated, zinc will kill you. BBQ regulators have enough psi....but are low flow regulators and will not work. Get one from Suburban Propane or a Propane supply outfit.

Studio 68 the FB link you posted isn't working for me. Do you have a video anywhere that shows your set up?

Studio 68 would have link to seen your burner, but I dont do that BS facebook ch!t no more....
hey! do you think theres a way to modify this design to make a forced air burner out of it? im using it just plain as is and the flame is burning super rich at times but other times it gets roaring along nicely. I know its not a regulator or gas jet issue (checked those a million times lol) and would like to try forced air without re building a brand new burner
Thanks to your video i made this single torch for my foundry and a 2 burner torch for my forge.
I thought for a second that I play AVE vid:D

Having some fun when showing laymen how to make a homemade torch makes it entertaining.. I learned from this, Thank you

Your very welcome Terry! Good luck on your build!
Hey great video excellent work, I build it almost identical, it works but the flame is pretty yellow? Any tips to fix that? What size drill bit did you use for the 1/4 inch plug, maybe my hole size is to big? I tried drilling ant tapping for a mig tip but now it doesn’t work at all🤨
Just finished making a modified version of this. Instead of buying the regulator and other propane fittings, i bought a $35 basic weed burner and cut the flare off the end. Comes with a 10 foot hose, dial valve and squeeze control. Just file the edges and slightly enlarge the tip hole for better flow. Great video tho!
So does the flame end of the reducer have to be the size you have or can it be any size or is smaller better?
Awesome build, love it.

Thanks Scott 👍
What size drill bit did you use for the brass plug and also what’s the reason for the reducer at the end?
Almost perfect! If you used a dye on the 2" nipple and extended the threads you could cut a piece of metal drill and tap it to fit those threads and then you will have an air control valve! Or get a nipple with longer threads .
COOL! thank you for sharing this. Now I had better get busy in build mine.
Wow, that was pretty simple, wish I would have watched this last night, could've saved me some cabbage. 🖖😎⚒
Would a brass coupling work as well as the galvanized coupling?
All I got was a yellow and blue flame and the 20 psi regulator is non adjustable... how far inset is the brass cap nozzle inside the reducer... propane tank is kinda low... I'm hoping that's all it is... the only thing I did different was put 1/8 plate over the 1 1/4 end with a center hole drilled for the nipple to slide through so I could center and tac weld it.... the plate has symmetrical holes drilled in it for oxygen flow... but yellow flame center blue and not a lot of pressure... I'd really like to get my forge going... any advice bud?
Good instructions, as a long time machinist I recommend Wiha Allen wrenches, but , Bondhus are a decent 2nd to them.
Great video I've watched a few videos now on this subject. They all have made it so complicated. Yours however right to the point and easy to follow. So thanks.

Thanks Chris! Glad you found it informative!
So I just got the regulator and hooked everythin up and tried it out and it would not stay lit I’d put my lighter up to it and it roads but as soon as I take it away the flame goes out the only thing I did different is my pipes maybe 6” and maybe the hike in the plugs a bit bigger any suggestions on how to fix it?

Brandon Casey when this happens with me usually the wind is blowing. So might have to do something with the wind
What size drill bit did you use for the propane tip? In the brass pug?
That's what I needed to see. Thanks

Funny I came across your video as I am just abought to build a propane forge myself but out of a 20 gallon craftsman air compressor tank, do you have a video of how you ended up mounting the burner in your forge? . thanks for the informal video as I will be using this idea!
Today .. I make this ! I will let you know how it turns ! Semper Fi from Maine !
Woooohhh, de 5 videos que he visto éste es el que más me ha gustado, gracias, nada de flama amarilla
My flame doesn’t seem to be strong enough, and i don’t know why. I followed the instructions closely and have the 20psi regulator, but it doesn’t “roar” like the forges i’ve used at other places. Any thoughts?
Great video, thank you! When will you be building the forge? I built a coal forge last month and having fun with it but its messy smelly and take a large commitment of time to use, Im looking forward to seeing how you do it, I really like the burner design, do you think with a 30lb regulator and dual burners you could get to forge welding temps (2200F + - ) ? Thanks again for the informative video.
