Mark Green Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Spend just a little bit more, and get a real burner. Mark Green I have a way? Is that better then a plan? (cptn. Mal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Brewer Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Spend much less and build one..... If ya can't be good don't git caught !! People who say stuff can't be done need to git the hell outta the way of people who do stuff !!! Show me a man who is called an expert by his peers And I will show you a good man to listen to ...... Show me a man who calls himself an expert and I will show you an egotistical asshole...............!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBrackett Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) We just built one, with a friend starting out, from plans we Googled, cost for parts was less than $50 for the whole paint can forge including making burner. Use cat litter plain clay crushed and mixed with a little water to line the can. Works pretty good for basic forging. She will be making couple of small knives and some other small metal art stuff.

Freya W. Ward Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 If you're insistent on buying a torch, the Bernzomatic TS-4000 is a great torch. <a href="http://darkfireforge.mymiddleearth.com/darkfire-forge/">Darkfire Forge</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
