And there’s me thinking I was the only one to screw things up. 😂 I’m new to this too. Subscribed

@@Jm09085 😝 things can only get better I hope 🫣😂 Thanks for the sub really appreciate it 🙏

I was on the edge of my seat waiting for something to blow up, or some horrific injury. Had me hooked

@@ABLReselling Thanks mate, glad I didn’t disappoint, nice to know you care 🙄🫣😂🥰

I'd be tempted to drill that lid off the furnace and rivit it back on so it opens the other way so your burner could be out the back clearing the area to the frtont5 .😎

[@shedtubeX]

@@REVERENDAVERNUSMCC I had the exact same thought!! Great minds!! It’s definitely a design flaw imo 👍👍😁

Hahaha. I don't know how your vid came across my recommended but I'm glad I clicked. I thought I was the only one who melted a propane hose and had it catch on fire! I had a high pressure industrial Victor reg, and I maybe.. used co2 rated hose to my homemade burner! Mine was a bit more dramatic, because the hose caught on fire, then melted through fully, letting the hose flop around from the force of the gas escaping with 2' long stream of flame the entire time! Needless to say, when I rebuilt it, I made some changes so that I could run it at much lower pressures (around 10psi) instead of the 40-50psi I was using, and upped the orifice size. Took some experimentation to get it setup to run as well as v1 did, using a 023 orifice from a mig welder at 30-40psi let it REALLY suck some air down the venturi, so much so it was so lean it would blow out a torch trying to light it when cold!

Haha brilliant, thank you for commenting and confirming I am not the only one 🙏😂 A lesson learnt for the both of us 😂

[@dogsarebest7107]

@@shedtubeX Yeah seriously! I'll be honest, my v2 never ran as good as v1, but running 8-10psi of propane is a whole lot safer than 50psi! Even though it was about the same amount of fuel, 40psi going through an 0.023" mig tip has so much gas velocity it could suck in so much air and mix it really well. Going to 035 mig tip and 10psi was much slower, even if the fuel flow rate is similar, the gas speed, mixing, and air draw is much lower. But one doesn't nearly get smacked across the face by a flaming hose and go 'i can take it!' hah. Your mistakes from what I've seen in your vids are all the normal mistakes people make, myself included. Not having heavy duty wrench/pliers/grabbers etc to be able to grab heavy, hot things safely, not having a hammer to smack the ingot molds, wasting time by trying to preheat each cut of extrusion and gently place it in, instead of stacking them by the exhaust and go get everything else ready, etc. But that just comes with experience and learning IMO, nothing inherently BAD

[@shedtubeX]

@@dogsarebest7107 a little tickle of flames to the face sounds fun haha what doesn’t kill us and all that but jokes apart glad you’re ok, and thank you for the reassurance, I really appreciate it 😁

just let the moulds cool a bit longer works for me👍
