How to Make a Large Heat Treatment Oven - Pt.1

In this video I am making a DIY heat treatment oven. This oven is large enough to heat treat multiple large blades at once and can also be used as a kiln or an electric foundry to melt metals. I hope you enjoy the video!

Keep up the great work, very glad to see your content again

Keep up the great work, very glad to see you content is back

[@hyperhektor7733]

since making these ovens is relative cheap i think its better to build a real small but long oven (like 1 inch x 25 inch inside) it would be heating up much faster because of lower volume and less space between coil and steel. (btw why do you delete my comment twice, its just a recommendation for new content)

[@noctismortis7349]

you heard him. keep em straight. no pictures of dwayne "The Brick" johnson until they are old enough

[@noctismortis7349]

@@hyperhektor7733 because he already said something about that, he has his own ideas man. You basically told him to do something he specifically said he wouldn't do.

[@ruszko726]

Yeah, ive been waiting for more of these, been watching you since you were a lil squeaker, mad respect tho

[@Nighthawkinlight]

Such a nice build. I'd love one of those in my shop. Good to see you back!

Thanks man!

Takes me back in time! Good to see you again mate :) PS: Please wear gloves when you're welding, sunburn/skin cancer is no fun!

2 Months for 16 minutes of video, Beautiful

[@mangoesbananas7214]

Good stuff! I've not seen your vids for a few years, in fact you were a kid then! It's great to see that you are still making vids and I can see the progression of your work over that time. Nice oven/kiln! Keep up the good work!

[@StageRightvideo]

Hello Artof, good to see you back again. It's great to see you've come on so well with your design and craft work. You're a skilled young bloke that's for sure! It will be nice to see some future projects that make use of this oven. I'm sure it will be a match for any commercially made product. Best wishes.

[@uspockdad6429]

I love how you inspired vegoilguy for the foundry, and he inspired you on the heat treatment oven. You guys both have great channels, keep up the great work!

[@celere1]

I just discovered your slingshot video from some years ago, and am pleased that you are building more and more sophisticated things. It's nice to see videos that don't waste time laying out all the materials and drag on. Your pace is perfect. I have a nice Paragon glass kiln, and it doesn't look very different than yours. I love that you turn your own heating coils. Looking forward to more.

[@SpaceNavy90]

You've come a long way in 6 years. I feel like I've watched you grow up.

[@Strangernightg]

I'm a new subscriber and you spoke about appreciating your work . Let me say that as a person who loves learning new things in life , I sincerely appreciate every single effort that you've made and I thank you for building that heat treatment oven .. So thank you for sharing this video with me and all .

[@welshsteve2009]

Enjoyed watching this build. Looking forward to part 2 😀

[@MabrayFarm]

Nice build, really like how you made the coil grooves.

[@spokehedz]

Got to love a sensible design to use all the 'scraps' effectively. Well done!

[@MsMotron]

i already plan to build a oven very similar but quite a bit bigger than this, i already have one this size and your video on the metal foundry really helped me back then. This is such useful information!

[@PayneKiller23]

Damn that's slick, can't wait for part 2. Good job you are very efficient at fabricating

[@rallymax2]

WOW! Thanks for posting. I'll definitely use this as a plan for my heat treating needs.

[@stodorovic]

Really missed your stuff! Thoroughly enjoyed this

[@williamvezzani5610]

Glad to see a new upload from you. I think your generously thorough in how you present, explain and build tools. You inspire me to get off my ass and build things. Lol. I'm a stranger to the world of electricity and electrical work so I won't attempt to build your furnace. However, if I do well in school and find out that electricity is something that I can understand and respect, I'm going to take a crack at building this. I'd love to build and have my own electrical furnace to melt metal. Thanks for taking the time to create and share this video.

[@00bjkhrew]

Awesome video bro I’ve been subbed to you for many years now and your creativity is awesome keep up the good work

Just finished building a kiln myself and I concur that it is alot more work than it first seems.

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Still fighting the good fight. Awesome job, young sir.

[@austindavies6371]

Those final welds look spot on. You dont need too much more practice, I remember laying down "birdshit" welds when I was an apprentice, just slow the pool down and it all comes together. ;)

[@lukearts2954]

I think it's high time you start receiving job offers for high end product development for robust tools in weary industries... The level of perfection you apply in your projects is simply amazing (especially remarkable, given your youth!!) and you always seem to have thought about most everything... unfortunately I didn't get your video in my feed even though the bell is activated. I do check in on your channel manually, because I'd never want to miss any of your content :)))

[@taow]

Cheers man! I did have a job offer for a manufacturing company that I worked for at the start of this year actually which was nice, but little creativity there. It's a shame about the notifications, I have noticed this video hardly has any views so I'm thinking it's a problem on KZbins part there.

[@lukearts2954]

It's been so long. Thank you!

[@lpsp442]

I know you get this comment a lot, but it's fantastic seeing your craft get better and better and better. I remember watching your earliest videos and thinking that for a kid the quality is amazing; now you're nearly as old as I was back then, and not only has the quality climbed higher and higher but the scale is magnificent. Keep knocking them out, brother. ps is that a welsh accent?

Looks like a great build! Was the welding the most time consuming part? Everything else seemed reasonable on time. Anything you would change if you built another one?

For your kiln could falling out two a small piece of that 18 gauge wire it will go into the soft bricks and hold them lots of kilns use them

good on ya Mate , Thats a A+ from me

[@SomeAustrianGuy]

If you have problems with the coils falling out, stick quarz rods into the coils. That worked for me and quarz doesn't get soft until like 1500°C

[@H2Dwoat]

Hi, could you make a few inner sleeves out of the bricks to place inside the oven to tailor the inner chamber size to suit the current job requirements? It would save you having to heat up the unnecessary volume.

nice job, simple and functional. How long does it take to reach 800 °? Where can I find calculations for the electrical part? Is there any excel sheet that I can use?

[@extreamemineing]

nice work! How much wire did it take for the coils

[@slobodanboban8717]

Hey,man,nice work! Can you use it for metal sintering?

You said you used resistance wire but not nichrome what type was it. I have to build an oven to heat treat gears. Very good video.

[@Kotdt1]

nice video

[@Anderson-HandForged]

taow you did a great job on your oven i just finished mine yesterday not as nice as yours though i had a question what did you use to make your channels in the brick for your elements what kind of router bit? can you post a link to it thanks Mark

[@SushiKing123NorskGaming]

He is back boiis! He is back!!

[@jadekayak01]

I am impressed-you wound your own coils. A month seems a bit long. You designed it before building so i cant see more than 2 8 hour days for the construction. (I used to build much larger versions)

[@dc2911]

Hi TAOW, Your videos are great thank you. I’m in the process of designing a heat treating oven and wanted to get your input on the element sizes. The internal measurements are 15.24 cm high by 13.97 wide by 34.29 cm long. I am looking to treat knives and small tools and can run either 120v or 220v. My designs is similar to what you have posted here. Any feedback on Ohms Watts and Amps would be appreciated.

[@toneless3182]

U make very good vids

[@astrataway7077]

Excellent craftsmanship. Btw I know this is gonna sound funny but you sound EXACTLY like the voice actor for Jerry Jackson one of David Firth's creations. Are you Jerry Jackson?

[@user-ti2cl9js9n]

Hello! Nice video. Can you tell me what software using for the design?

[@ericperkins3078]

OMIGOD! Little Harry Potter grew up and his voice changed!

[@stuartkerr1012]

What temperature does the outer surface of the bricks reach ultimately? Looking to build my frame using aluminium profile if possible

[@TheGodfather101]

Can this be used for sintering copper powder?

[@AwestrikeFearofGods]

If you're still having problems with cracking, try quenching from a lower temperature. Yellow is hotter than necessary for steels. Bright red to red-orange should be sufficient.

[@johnnymotorboat8824]

What is that software called? Thanks for the video.

[@petkuscinta9797]

Are Firebricks the same as Hebel/Ytong/AAC blocks?

[@17hmr243]

for fun cut some bar rod to same size clean them well place 10 in the oven take them out every 100c and find the heat temp color range. HEAT TREATMENT OF STEELS 1, HARDENING, TEMPERING, ANNEALING & NORMALIZING OF STEELSMARC LECUYER -- utube vid

[@mycroftholmes7003]

how often have you changed out the elements due to touching the firebricks?

[@danharold3087]

Wondering why you did not wind the coils on the lathe? The feed would give you even spacing so no stretching.

[@thetinkerist]

Cracks in a large blade like that are not to blame on the heat treat kiln, but it's a good excuse for a new build ofcourse :)

[@Azi-Az]

Did you use cement to attach the bricks

[@AxiomIndustries]

Good
