Huge ribbon burner forge build part 2

[@matthewmoilanen787]

Wow young man you've done an amazing job with this thing so far. Many times we older fabricators may think u have to be older to develop the skills you're demonstrating but it's great to see the next generation of excellent quality craftsman like you.

Very Nice design

[@Timberns]

Very nice… Exactly the burner I’d like to have

[@Robenbuilds]

Thanks, ribbon burners are really cool and can put out a lot of heat! Only downside is that they're more complicated to make and requires some patience.

[@Robenbuilds]

Thank you!

I too build large ribbon burner forges. Super nice job!

[@WildmanTech]

I use butter flavored mold release from the dollar store.

[@Robenbuilds]

Haha that works aswell I guess!

Been researching ribbon burners and found one thing noone ever mentioned: the cfm output of the fan, its a complete mystery how much fan a guy needs without going major overkill.

merde t'a du sacrée beau matériel pour travail. Merci pour la vidéo.

[@billwoehl3051]

I'm not a fan of the fully enclosed door with pulleys and gravity to operate, I usually have handles welded on to my billets and they need a relief in the door to stick outside the forge. Just a small notch in the middle of the bottom of the door, maybe 1"×1" is all it would take.

[@stephenchilingirian5183]

Awesome build!! Could you please tell me what blower you are using? What CFM?

[@Anderson-HandForged]

what do you use for a tip to distribute the gas a mig tip if so what size hole ? awesome job so far

[@Robenbuilds]

At first I was going to use some sort of mig tip at the end of the propane line but I just ended up plumbing the propane straight into the large main pipe. I didn't think that it was necsesary to make the propane go a specific dirrection since the fan is going to blow everything into the correct dirrection anyway, if that makes sense.

[@Robenbuilds]

So the size of the hole is whatever I set the needle valve to and this also allows me to fine tune the mixture of gas and air

[@Anderson-HandForged]

@@Robenbuilds awesome thats all i needed to know appreciate it thank you ill let you know how mine turns out i just have to hook up plumbing and the fan

[@charruauno386]

Thank you for showing, and in my opinion your work is a 10. Question, what would be the price if a complete forge like yours, materials, labor, and shipment. Thank you from Uruguay and have a good and safe day.

[@Robenbuilds]

Thanks! I'm honored that you would like to buy a forge from me but I'm not sure if it would be finacially reasonable to try and ship something this big and heavy (320kg ish) to the opposite side of the world (I live in Sweden). I would also be worried that the castable refractory cement would get damaged in transit. If I were to trasport it within Sweden it would definitely be possible to arrange.

[@johnli6736]

can you try using waste oil

[@jmbstudio6873]

The ribbon burner is a fad. The real advantage is that they are forced induction. I built regular forge burners but made them forced induction. Super low psi on the propane and plenty of heat without making an oxidizing flame. Every ribbon burner I see has too much oxygen and creates an oxidizing flame. I forge at 4 psi and forge weld at 6 psi for propane regulator adjustments. That thing is ridiculously oversized...unless you are forging 300lb anvils. Forge On!!!

[@fredbecker607]

Why do you build the refactory part so deep? Seems like a waste.
