How to Build a Venturi Forge Burner for Only $21
Рет қаралды 267,742
Күн бұрынIn this video we'll be building a venturi forge burner based off the frosty T design. Some of the benefits of venturi burners are that they will run when the power goes out and that they are cheap to build!

Depending on how much time and effort you're going to put into it you may want to buy a forge. ALTAS FORGE has an excellent knife forge for $285. Would be perfect for your needs. www.atlasknife.com/product/atlas-mini-forge-v2-stainless/ IF you want to build a little forge for heat treating you can get a piece of stove pipe or any piece of steel tubing that is around 8'' in diameter. Then you can go "High Temperature Tools & Refractory's website" to order Kaowool. Line your pipe with 2 layers of 1'' kaowool then coat the wool with satanite. Then build one of the venturi burners like I did here and you're off to the races. Use hard firebrick as the doors. For more information you can search bladefourms for forge builds here : cse.google.com/cse?cx=012217165931761871935:iqyc7cbzhci

Looks like you have a length of square tubing inside the forge , does this aid in heating the blade more evenly such as keeping the flame away from the blade . I haven’t seen this before but it appears to possibly work that way .

@RedBeardOps 3 жыл бұрын
Hey Jon, The muffle pipe is just a piece of 2x2 square tubing that I welded a cap on to. Cap isn't needed though. The point is just to shield the blade from direct flame. This helps get a more even heat on the blade. It's not a necessary item though.
@randyblackburn9765 3 жыл бұрын
I have always wondered if on this type burner if 2 all thread nipples and 2 full port ball valves could be used as an adjustable choke but I do know to use black iron gas pipe and fittings instead of galvanized also the merchant coupling or the bell reducer should keep the threaded end which is thin from burning up

I've never build a forge with two venturi burners, however, I've seen a ton of forges built this way! I'm sure it would work, but it may take some tuning.

Hi. Awesome video. I guess my only question is what is the purpose of the merchant coupling if it doesn't hold the flame? Is it to creat a tighter seal with the forge body or is it a flair? If it's a flair is it needed inside the forge itself as the forge will hold the flame? New to this and just getting my head around it. Cheers. :)
@RedBeardOps 4 жыл бұрын
Hey Bart, good question. To me the merchant coupling was intended to provide a smooth surface to interface with the forge body. As a stand alone it will not hold the flame well. When in the forge (if the forge is designed to an appropriate size for the burner size) the flame holder is not necessary since the forge will hold the flame. That being said, there is nothing wrong with using the merchant coupling or flair in combination with the forge.

@@RedBeardOps the mig tips orifice I bought are about 0,031 inches The problem I had was I couldn't seem to find short 3/4 or 1inch pipe that is threaded on both ends the stuff I could get was ~3ft long I don't know if the length of the pipe effects anything so I decided to cut off one end I used the threaded end to hold the mig tip and ball valve This setup didn't get good temperatures and it took a while to heat up steel also if I added to much air the flame would blow out, This was inefficient so I made the same thing but with 3/4 inch pipe I was able to get a shorter section of this, and it was threaded on both ends so I conneted a reducing bushing and a 1 inch coupling Now when I light it the flame has a bright blue cone and has a higher temperature and does not blow out at all I'm not sure if increasing the size of the orifice does anything but I do want to see if 1mm would be better. I assume I will make the flame burn fuel rich but will this still be efficient What I'm certain of is this isn't efficient for melting brass or copper

So the forge I just built was made from an old air compressor tank. it’s about 14” long ( about 1-1/2 fire bricks long) and about 12” across... I cut off the front end and welded a hinge to it to make a door, on the other end I cut a 3” tall x 5” wide hole so I can look inside if I’m using the forge with the front door shut without losing too much heat. I lined it with Kao wool, about 1” thick and laid two fire bricks down on the floor to lay my steel on. What sized burner should I use in it? I have something similar to the one in this video and at full blast I got flame shooting out of the door when it’s open...lol I think I need to somehow make the flame be more concentrated, I think it’s too wide as it is now, the nozzle is a 3/4” pipe nipple with a cone on the end that’s someplace between 1” and 1-1/4” . Your thoughts?

So mine is also an air tank, but I have 2 layers of 1'' wool which makes the ID ~ 6'' before the fire brick floor (I used 1'' fire bricks for the floor). This burner will work in my forge. If you want more power and more control, I'd suggest making a forced air burner.

Red Beard Ops I only have one layer of the one inch thick Kai wool blanket and two 1” fire bricks on the floor... seems to work well I also moved my burner so now it shoots straight down in the center of the forge so stead of from an angle like it was... it seems to be heating up the inside really well.

I'm sure you could. I've seen some set ups like the one you're describing. I, however, have not made one in that configuration. The last forge I made out of a propane tank was forced air. If you can manage a forced air burner build... I tend to like those better.

So im trying to upgrade my current doubble burner for my small toolbox forge to 2 like this i got them built and test firerd outside the forge the seem to work great but once i attach them to the forge and try them they seem to be struggling to get enough oxigen to properly burn inside the forge instead im getting 2-3 foot flames comming out of the forge so im woundering if i should put a couple more smaller oxigen holes on the sides of the T's or a couple breather holes in forge itself do u think that would help? Or maby add a reducer and make the T 1.5 inches instead of one

nice video what about running on natural gas? propane is very dangerous I worked natural gas company for 31 years!
@RedBeardOps 5 жыл бұрын
So natural gas works out pretty well for blown burners since they can run at lower psi. You would be hard pressed to run a venturi forged with natural gas (I'm pretty sure). From a danger standpoint, I feel pretty safe with propane. I have an ESD built into my system as well in case of power failure. When it comes to blacksmithing, knifemaking, bladesmithing, and farriering - propane is the standard for gas forges. Cheers mate! Thanks for the comment.

Remember NPTF & NPT fittings do not share the same sizing chart as other fittings and although they screw together it should be noted that the fitting won’t be leak proof unless sealants or o-rings are used. A person could drive themselves insane if they don’t understand how to size and type a fitting -especially gas fittings. What’s 1/4’ for nptf isn’t 1/4’ for another fitting. For this application everything should be NPTF.
