Hi all, I’ve been lurking on the site for a while but thought it was about time I said hello! I’m a pretty recent convert to bladesmithing. Been at it about a year now. So hello from a UK Bladesmith
Ive also got one or two questions about burners. I’m planning to build some blower burners based on the designs posted on the site. I particularly like the t-junction ones.
I couldn’t really figure out whether these needed to be sealed or just screwed together (I remember a post saying not to put Teflon on them though). So do they need sealing up? And would this be with plumbers tape (like that used on radiator fittings) or welded together?
Also am I correct in thinking the burner doesn’t need a flared end as we aren’t going for a Venturi effect?
Any help would be real nice
