is the mizzou necessary if you rigidize the insulation. from what I gather you only need 1 or the other, is that correct?

I have a wire feed mig welder. I was thinking what you jerrod suggested and weld it the best i can then try and seal it up with some high heat jb weld
-
I found this piece of scrap steel pipe I want to use it as a quench tube. I will have to put an end cap on it but I am not a good enough welder to make a watertight weld. Are there any high heat resistant epoxy i can use to just glue the pipe onto some sheet metal?
-
cool, thanks for the help guys. Ill be sure to post pictures as I go.

ok cool thats what i figured. what about the burners? Is 2 enough? Instead of making them I was actually considering mounting some propane torch heads through tubes on the top and running them via hose to a 20lb tank. would that work or would not be high enough flow?

I am building a new forge from an old propane tank. I am planning on wrapping kaowool around the inside. Should a put refractory cement on top of the kaowool or just put rigidizer on it and let it be? And is 2 burners enough or would I benifet from putting in 3?

there is legitamently not 1 thing I would change about any of those. I can only hope to get somewhere close to your level someday

holy moly. by far my favorite chef knives ive ever seen

wow I didnt think it would be that simple
-
So this is far above my current skill level and i have no intention of trying something like this anytime soon but im curious how a pattern like this is done.
-
Mine is a rotary/hammer drill. and i was using rotary mode
-
I finally got the holes drilled. After trying a number of different cobalt bits I found this and it went through it like butter.
-
I actually normalized the steel by heating it up then letting it cool back down to room temp. then realized I forgot to drill the holes so Im now trying to do that before I quench. is that the wrong way to normalize it? did I accidentally harden it?
