How to Make The Best Ribbon Burner Forge !!

[@petergrassel3973]

What a great artist you are

[@franks.8799]

Beautiful welds!

[@sudjayeng]

Its so wonderful and usefully tutorial sir, Saluut.. 🙏🙏

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome work! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@frankbonetti2780]

What type of concrete did you use to pour on the top layer….i loved you forge

[@mindfreak001009]

nice build mate...

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

Thanks

[@ManCrafting]

Love that ribbon burner. The heat looks so much more even than on my 2 burner forge. Any reason why you didn’t use the insulation in the top of the forge vs pouring the slurry?

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

ManCraftingTM thanks , i poured the refractory slurry for a few reasons first it locked in the bricks then i could cast in my tapered ribbon Burner so i can remove it or replace it at anytime. I also used the thinner insulation on top of it before i welded the top on . The thinner stuff actually has the same insulating properties as the thicker stuff. I don’t like having the blowing heat directly on the insulating blanket like some people make there forges , that fibrous material is terrible for you to breath in . Thanks

[@darrylthompson4732]

Great video for the ribbon burner! would more holes at a smaller diameter be better?

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

Thanks , i haven’t tried smaller holes but it might work

[@OldNorsebrewery]

that looks awesome

[@kevinthornton70]

Great video. What is your choice of refractory mix when you make the burner

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

Thanks, i use a refractory called unicast 70

[@Phillyblades]

Good job

[@masonwoodley9005]

I finally finished my ribbon burner forge couple days ago and have been slowly heating it to cure the refractory. Wondering if you could possibly do a video going over the fuel air mixture for flame adjust. Mostly wondering what my flame pattern should look like. Thanks in advance any tips or advice would be great.

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

mason woodley let me see what i can do

[@charruauno386]

Thank you for showing, nice work and video, question can the burner be build with one of the brakes by making the holes need it. Thank you and have a good and safe day.

[@user-tt3zm7pc3p]

Thank you for the good content! 🤩

[@timwalters9835]

I would like to get a parts list for this forge & ribbon burner. I already have a coal forge and would like to expand my operation so my son and I can get more out of our time of getting stuff HOT and hitting it Hard (With a Hammer). This video was easy to follow and understand. Thank you for your assistance in expanding our Blacksmithing skills.

Tim Walters no problem thanks for watching you can email me at bonifabcustom at gmail dot com thanks

[@samstapleton3739]

Oh man beautiful work I wish you could send me one so I can showcase it on my channel

[@tomivar9469]

really nice forge man

[@ΓιαννηςΑγγιανης]

Nice job..I still haven't figured out if we need to use orifice in this type of construction..If it really needs what diameter and how much pressure ??

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

Γιαννης Αγγιανης thankyou i use an .035” orifice and about 2-5 psi

[@wavecoders]

That’s some hot stuff dude

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

Mike Bonifacio it’s real hot

[@djjmsimon]

Nice design, are those fireplace bricks or the softer lighter ones used in kiln and other forge designs? Where did you get the thinner ?Ceramic felt? Thanks

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

Thanks, they are not your typical fireplace brick , but are similar in weight but have a high temp rating of over 2000deg , the kiln bricks or lighter bricks tend break easily when exposed to propane forges . I got the thinner refractory felt from a supplier called smelko. Thanks

[@jimoverstreet3149]

Great work. The gas/air input in the final part of the video is different that what you showed earlier. Did you scrap that design and I assume the final setup with elbow for forced air works best. Thanks great work. Jim Overstreet

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

jim overstreet i have both but i do find for forge welding the forced air gives me more heat faster i use the NA mostly for heating up for forging when i don’t need the high temp thanks

[@Mobisonline]

what gauge sheet metal did you use, would using bricks as the roof of the forge work as well, and is that brick inside the forge towards the end a hard refractory brick instead of the softer white ones you used for the walls

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

The sheet metal is 1/8” thickness and you could use the brick on top i just chose to use refractory cement because my ribbon burner has a taper and i needed it cast to make it fit right . I used all hard brick for the entire forge

[@germanvasquez851]

Bravo !!

[@TheTylerAldrich]

Good content brother!

[@Donorcyclist]

Great forge! I'm in the exploratory stages of my forge build, just now finishing up my grinder build. I'm thinking that I definitely want a ribbon burner forge. What was the thin material you used? Thanks!

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

Donorcyclist are you talking about the thin insulating material?

[@Donorcyclist]

@@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio Yes, it looked almost like thick paper between your bricks and parts of the shell.

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

Donorcyclist yes it’s a type of refractory sheet it comes 1/8” in thickness i buy it from a place called Smelco they are a foundry supplier

[@diggumdetecting3369]

@@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio Thank you so much for the information, and for your responsiveness!

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

Diggum Detecting no problem glad i can help let me know how your project goes

[@markphillips3250]

I would really appreciate the exact measurements for your forge and ribbon burner. I like your design. I am curious though about one thing. How did you get that piece of sheet metal that was holding up the refractory cement out after it set up. Seems like it would be stuck in there. I started building a forge a couple of weeks ago. My burners are different. I may change to ribbon burner after seeing how yours works. Great job guys.

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

Email me Mark and I’ll help you with measurements thanks [e-mail]

[@bryanancy]

I like your design. I have been doing the same ribbon burner type of set up. How are you regulating it and are you using propane? How long is the hose from the bottle to the needle valve and what size orifice are you using. What is your bottle pressure and what are you regulating down to for the burner. Thanks again.

[@chilipepperjackcowboyactio9947]

So what are your internal dimensions to the forge, and what size is your burner?

[@statix108]

Does this forge get up to forge welding temps? and do you use bricks on the opening to heat up

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

statix108 hi , yes it does get up to forging temps you may want to be careful i melted a 2000deg brick because i let it get to hot . I put the bricks on the front and back they act like doors to help keep heat in thanks

[@crushersthoughts7970]

Can you send me the specs for this fordge please

[@rh5971]

I don’t understand the hat, but I sure know a good build when I see one! What was the the material that looks like thick felt that you put on directly under the metal before welding?

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

R H lol , the thin felt like material is another type of high temp refractory insulation it can be purchased from a foundry supply shop called Smelko thanks for watching

[@rh5971]

@@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio WOW! I was not expecting a reply. Thank you so much! You have my subscription for that! I like watching you sketch out the stuff you build and I like the way you do stuff. Still, I want to know about the hat...... Cheers!!!

[@rickpoteet371]

What was the base for the refractory on the roof. What stopped the slurry

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

I just put a piece of 1/8” sheet metal then removed it you can also use wood

[@rickpoteet371]

@@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio I am missing something, how do you get the 1/8 metal out after the walls are all in?

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

@@rickpoteet371 the 1/8” is just across the openings so once the refractory dries just push down the steel to remove it

[@bradw1808]

Just wondering what the thin material you are using between bricks and metal? TIA!

[@BonifabcustomRobBonifacio]

It’s a type of compressed refractory blanket

What’s is the thin white stuff In between the metal plates
