    Tip! I built my own version of this exact burner & forge a few days ago. Afterwards when it dried I noticed the lining was getting soft & powdery after firing. I could scratch it off with my finger nail. So I created a hot saturated solution of LYE. I kept it on the stove on low heat (steaming, not boiling). Then used a plastic syringe to drop / coat / saturate the entire inner and outside lining with hot lye solution. It took about 2 hours to do and soaked in nice and deep. It needs to be hot otherwise it doesn't penetrate nice and deep. After I finished I decided to take a mini propane torch and heat a soft section of the lining that was breaking off before. Then when it cooled I touched it and it felt like a ROCK. Was hard as hell. So then I set off the forge with the wet lye all over the lining and THIS WORKS BEAUTIFULLY. First you'll see the steam come out (do not breath it in). Afterwards you can actually see the lye melt and immediately react with the silica in the perlite to make solid water glass. The whole lining changes aesthetically & structurally. You get hundreds of small, white popcorn looking beeds all over the lining but their all the same size and it looks awesome. After I fired it for 15 minutes I came back with a screw driver poking parts of the lining that were soft before and it was all ROCK HARD. I couldn't scratch off or break anything.
    But here's the coolest part, the forge is getting WAY HOTTER now. Before only the bottom got yellow hot... after I did this the entire liner gets white hot and bright like the sun.
    My guess is when you seal the liner like this heat is reflected like a mirror ... there's no pores in the liner for heat to dissipate or penetrate through. So the second heat hits the liner its reflected immediately back into the forge which makes it get insanely hot.
    I'm not exaggerating one bit. Afterwards I stuck a stainless steel spoon in there, held it a few minutes with pliers, pulled it out and the entire top of the spoon was gone! Then I shut the forge off, looked inside and see the steel melted to the bottom of the liner.
    So naturally I had to connect my MAPP gas. I tried it again and the entire base of the spoon melted too. So I shut the forge off then popped it off with a steel wire and it came out like a little pancake.
    I have no idea how this thing is melting steel (I'll take pics if anyone wants to see) but I need to try larger amounts in a graphite crucible to see if I can melt and pour larger amounts. I'm also confused as hell about the difference between temperature vs heat energy? I've been reading on forums about this. Anyone knows you can put a thin steel wire in front of a 1000C small propane torch and that steel wire will melt. So when a forge is properly insulated and your pumping hundreds of thousands of BTUs in it.... what's happening? Is it because the metal is more thermally conductive than the silica? So when you're pumping heat into an insulated area... the heat keeps rising and rising then you throw steel in... that steel sinks the "heat energy" which causes the temp to rise then it melts?
    That's the only thing I can assume is happening. And if I can melt a steel spoon that has to mean I can melt more steel in a crucible.

      +clkindred Hi you can add a plus sign before the name to direct comments to a person eg +Cade Howell
      On the topic of your video and forge I noticed you use Perlite fused with Silica for the insulating wall, Would having a thermal retaining material inside the forge wall be more effective in retaining and increasing the temperature?
      I would also consider applying a fan of some sort and vents to initiate a vortex inside the chamber.
      Similar to a fan forced oven. not sure how to describe it in words but can visualize it...there is more fire/heat passing over a given point.
      I collect all these ideas for nothing, to pass them on I guess to people who can apply them.

    Does anybody see a problem in using this method of making a forge , but using a much larger container like a “35 gallon “ propane tank from a forklift (about 30” long, and about 15” in diameter), and make it with a 4” cavity.
    Out of all the mixes I have watched on Ytube....... this seems to be by far the easiest to deal with and get the best results.

    • @TheWtfnonamez
      @TheWtfnonamez 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Im about to make one based on this design, and in the last few weeks Ive learned a bit more. They are probably not made by industry because for a less than a grand you can buy an electronic kiln. For a business that is cheap compared to a law suit based on an improvised piece of kit. (thats my personal opinion btw). The other is that if you used these on an industrial scale, apparently sand/plaster mix whilst great for the hobbyist, has poor refractory values, and after some use it will start to disintegrate and require re-lining again.
      As far as health goes, Dank Pepto has the right idea: Use this, and in fact do ALL high temperature work, in a well ventilated area. Also, when it comes to doing anything to do with high temps, or grinding/sanding where you create dust, were a simple half-mask respirator (those pink/purple ones you see in all the knife videos). I think they are 3m multigas filters with a built in P99 dust filter).They are basically the civilian version of a CBRN filter. They will bind active organics and filter out particles. Just remember the filters dont last forever.
      The only big no-no, is watch out for anything chromed, that gets burned. Apparently those fumes are very unhealthy. Burning or super heating chromed metal parts will cause them to develop a yellowish crust and give off fumes. Not good. I read its best to turn off the chrome finish. Not sure they will get hot enough with this design though.
      Sorry for the wall of text, the short version is:
      Assume everything to do with welding, sanding and forging is toxic
      Do it in a well ventilated area
      Get a cheap half mask with pink filters from amazon
      Wear eye protection.
      Good luck chaps.

    As far as I know, you're the first on TH-cam to use these chemicals. If this works for an extended period, you will be a hero of sorts, because the system has us all believing that "refractory" material is 4th in the Trinity; as in importance and price.
    This is an exceptionally good video.

      thanks! Yea all the commercial refractories are all proprietary and they are not very forthcoming as to what is in it, might bite them in the ass though, if someone invents something better because the store bought stuff was so expensive haha.

    Try setting you burner at a 40 degree angle. Heat will circulate inside a bit better, and can raise the temps some. Thanks for the videos, I found one that will allow me to finish an on going project.

  • @PastorWilliamBarhorst
    @PastorWilliamBarhorst 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I liked watching how you made the burner, the new tube design of what seems to be a large scale of a soldering torch tube. I'm soon going to make one and make a foundry like yours in this video but a bit larger so I can melt larger pieces of metal just to compact the size. I will use free fuels to burn them, either reclaimed fossil fuels, used motor oils and old fuels mixed using them to extract vapors that will burn not using them as solid fuels if I can make my design work it will make the fuels last so much longer and will be free.

    • @clkindred
      @clkindred  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pastor William Barhorst Have you seen this design? th-cam.com/video/P-A8uoWdBB8I/w-d-xo.htmlt uses liquid oils but still might be worth looking at. The vapor design like old gasoline blowtorch use would be an interesting build though, with a lot of design challenges. Like how to keep non vaporizing contaminants from gumming up the system.

  • @Imon2udude
    @Imon2udude 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Im an old sheetmetal guy. Here is a little trick. If you have a ten inch diameter pipe lets say, place a framing square against the outside of the pipe and mark it at the five inch mark on both sides. Slide the square and repeat the process. You should end up where you started with the cylinder perfectly divided into fourths. Peace Y'all.

  • @TheBoeKing
    @TheBoeKing 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, this is pretty cool concept! Before I came across your video while I was in the works of making my own coffee can forge. Accept my insulation is Portland cement and crushed up firebrick, and I'm opting for less insulation for more work space for my blacksmithing. But instead of one propane torch, I'll have two torches pointed down in a "V" configuration on to my steel. I might coat the out side with some fire cement as well. But the way you went with this one was pretty ingenious!

    • @clkindred
      @clkindred  9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you so much! I'm working on a different design for my next forge, I'll post a video when I'm done. You're right though, this one is slim on the work area, part of the reason I made the new one is this was too small. I am interested in your insulation though, I experimented with portland cement but did not get very good results. Please keep us here updated on how it turns out! Thanks again.

    • @TheBoeKing
      @TheBoeKing 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      clkindred Sorry for the delay clkindred! I have been rather busy lately, and haven't had the time to reply back or work on my forge. But I got some more stuff for it and right now I have different batches of the Portland cement and crushed up firebrick curing to see what is a good mixture to use. I will make sure to keep you updated on how things are going, it might be a while though. I also got some fixins to make some water glass thanks to your helpful videos! I hope to make a little bit bigger foundry than what you did but ...... that's still a far bit off for now. I can't wait to see what else you have in the works!!!

    Metal recyclers also have materials they sell by the pound. If a coffee can is worrisome you can find heavier bits at the recyclers. If you live near the coast where ships are built you can find exactly what you want often in stainless. Loiusiana near the oil rigs should provide any size you can imagine.
