Thread: Lpg forge

Making a start on a wee forge, if anyone has done much the same I'd be interested to see/hear opinions.

Debating weather to make my own burner, by the time I buy reg fittings and valves etc it's probably not much different to buying one through artisan supplies, and atleast that would be a proven design.

Likely use a ceramic blanket and rigidizer to stiffen then coat with some mortar.

Bit of scrap stainless and added some legs and burner inlet (excuse the rubbish welding). aiming to have about 150/300mm tunnel after insulation plus mortar. From the research I've done it's quite a bit of trial and error regarding the opening size so probably use a shelf and a bricks for the mean time.

Keen to make some knives and potentially some tooling and possibly try heat treating a reamer.



Knife blank I tried to heat with the map gas but couldn't get it hot enough,hence the forge build (green bit is the 3d print template) single bevel petty knife in 1084.
