The forge was running for about 2 minutes prior to this. The wrench is about 1/8” thick. I threw it in there just to see how long it would take to heat up. IMG_3060.MP4

Glade I added the choke plates. The back one is completely closed. IMG_3043.MOV

And it’s partially completed. Still missing the front and rear plates. I’ll add them eventually. Defiantly glade I added those air chokes. The back one is completely shut and the front one is just cracked open. IMG_3043.MOV

I will be running just the straight pipe in my forge. Thanks for the heads up.

I got the burner mount fitted, tapped and welded on, the bolt on legs cut to size and drilled(not shown), and 2 layers of high temp paint sprayed on. All that I have left is to cover the ceramic insulation. In a few days I’ll be able to fire it up. I’ll also be adding plate steel on the front and back racks

I installed the table top legs today. The finished product will have bolt on leg extensions.

Day 4. Fired up the burner for the first time after adding the air chokes. Not sure if I’ll have much use for them but I wanted to add them in the event that I needed the ability to fine tune the air flow. FullSizeRender.mov

I know you said you don’t trust yourself but here’s the updated list I put together from https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3kPIyZ5Rb8TQfWNk94kukQ. I swapped the standard black pipe reducer with a stainless for an extra $3. Total with shipping was $23.55. You just need to add some pipe dope or tape. Also I used a .035 mig tip. A pack will run you about $7. Shopping Cart - SupplyHouse.com.pdf

Day 3 progress. Cut the face off. Found my jig saw did a much cleaner job than the angle grinder. Forge is stuffed with 2” ceramic insulation. Welded the face back on. Welded the base on.

I have read both your building instructions. I appreciate the information, it’s really good content. I’ll be running a “Frosty-T” style burner that I’ve already built. I’ve been debating cutting an opening in the back of the bottle. After all the forums I’ve gone through i decided to put one in just in case.

Started work on this 20lbs propane tank yesterday.
