WARNING. After using rigidizer you you ABSOLUTELY NEED to coat with a refractory cement. Rigidizer should be applied once the kaowool is installed as you you saw that folding it opened creases that were not exposed to the rigidizer. Rigidizer just helps keep fibers down while you're putting refractory on. Running that forge without refractory is DANGEROUS as just as many fibers that cause silicosis and cancer are being spewed out. THIS WILL RUIN YOUR LUNGS!

Something worth looking at for extra safety is a Flash Back Arrestor/suppressor. Normally used for Oxy/Acetylene torches, you can also get them for other flammable gasses. Regulators don't always have them built in, even expensive ones. Should be able to get them from where you get your gas from. Otherwise welding suppliers do have them.
@VTRAddict4 ай бұрын
In a naturally aspirated propane system like this, there is no benefit in having a flashback arrestor. In a system running oxy, it's possible for oxygen to be forced back into the propane hose (or vice versa) which can create a combustible mix, but in this system that's impossible. Pure propane will not and can not burn without oxygen, and it is impossible for it to burn back up the hose or inside the bottle.

Awesome no-weld build! Like you say, not everyone has or can justify buying a welder. So, your gas port turned out to be conveniently in the optimal place when you built that part, keeping the valve away from the forge. For other/future builds, I suggest assembling all the brass parts except the end cap, and aligning that in the reducer to place the valve, etc. in the angle desired, then mark/drill the gas port. When assembling pipes, you may not always get the parts rotated to where you want them, but NEVER unscrew them to reach the angle you want/need! Instead, tighten slowly to reach that point. Brass stretches, flexes, bends when its tightened. Loosening it can create leak points, even if it feels tightly assembled.

His burner is made with gas pipe which is black pipe and brass, Black Pipe is Not Galvanised, it is instead coated with a dissolvable coating in many cases just a oil, or a cheap lacquer coating on the black pipe is iron and rust readly. Coat with a barbecue paint and it won't rust do a burn in outside and you good to go. The pipe parts let dry overnight then heat them up with a torch let cool and you're good to go. Have even seen waxed coated black pipe. The feet on the other hand probably won't get hot enough to dispel zinc gas off due to the heat proofing material inside, this material works very well at keeping the majority of the heat on the inside. And you can make or even buy these angles and hinges in black iron for gates so that would be the way to go. though if worried about zinc poisoning just rough them up and spray with a barbecue paint let dry. Though always take every precaution and necessary steps for your safety and others. you can get a good refractory material by the bucket depends on your wallet. By the way the feet are quick scaled at the factory which means they are quick dipped and generally it is Galvanized then balled milled to get that shiny look, some are electroplated. Though some manufacturers use other metals or have other treatments to ward off rust as well. Why I would recommend that you just get some cheap iron Black fence brackets and hinges, you can find latches to, and iron stove bolts, if your going to use bolts. That resolves any issues you might have to begin with. These are just a hard black painted non galvanized iron. Surprised you didn't just make some rivets and riveted them on with your small forge. You can use 16 penny nails non galvanised , that's the common nail used in most structural carpentry. Just cut to length, heat till a nice cherry red, and rivet them in place. I use to use those very brackets under houses because they didn't rust. It really is a good little furnace by the way for small projects, annealing and hardening or metal working projects. If you want to get into metal welding the old fashioned way, get some 20 Mule Team laundry soap as it's nothing but straight 100% Borax. Which is what to use for your flux, for metal forging and welding. A box will last you for years, just keep it dry. You don't need to buy any special fluxes for forging and welding doing blacksmithing.
