dont see it myself, all three tightening points are turning the exact same part in the chuck. could it make a difference where on that part you apply the turning force? idk. could be that just by taking the key out, putting it back in and tightening again youre making sure the tool is snug in the chuck, whether you use the same hole or a different one

[@anthonyleggio4877]

I made this following your instructions but used a 1/2 cap, 1.5 inch to 1 inch reducer coupling, 1 inch pipe and a 1.5mm hole for the orifice with a 10 pound regulator and it worked very well! Thank you for your contributions to the DIY community! I was just about to give up on making my own burner after my old one with the same regulator failed to produce a blue flame. I think my problem was the amount of airflow in the old system that reused a burner from a furnace with a 1" coupling welded on. I still ordered the new regulator because I want to see how hot I can make it but overall a wild success! Thank you again!

[@oak_meadow9533]

As a mathematician I can tell you that drilling your set screw holes 120 degrees apart would have allowed redirection of the flame down the center line of the burner very to be exceptionally simple.I admire your desire to always use the most efficient methodology for your diy build projects. I always enjoy watching a talented experimentalist in his element. You are like seeing Michael Faraday reborn; without him there would not have been an Edison or Einstein, or a Niagara power station humming with Nicolai Tesla's AC alternators.....

Nice video with the exception your internal flare needs to be black pipe and NOT galvanized. Zinc poisoning can kill you. The galvanized coupler on the back doesn't matter it's not directly exposed to the flame. I know you said you'd probably only use it outside but still, many who watch this wouldn't/don't know that. Stay safe everyone, and be informed.

The amount of zing on the flare will not kill you. As a precaution set it in a wood fire outside for about 20 minutes and the zinc will burn off.

[@wonhuanglowsoverylow5000]

[@64t120r]

Nice job. I would like to make one suggestion. Use a cordless drill to tap your holes. Generally speaking, people break less taps using a cordless than they do when tapping by hand.

[@ElementalMaker]

64t120r thanks for the tip! Oddly enough the only time I've ever broken taps was with a drill LOL. I'm bass akwards though, so that might be why.

[@64t120r]

Well . . . go break some. That is funny. I have to say, very good technique then. We get more broken taps when people do it by hand. Either way, I'll have to look through your videos and see what other goodies you have.

[@NRDavis-wl8vn]

Try tapping with your Drill Press. Drill hole, remove drill, insert tap. Everything is lined up. Turn and feed by hand or..... Get Tap Spinning, turn off power and feed down. Use to do it a lot in the machine shop for Quick and Dirty Jobs.

[@ElementalMaker]

David Dedrick some day I'll rack up the balls to do some power tapping on my drill press. I do it on my cnc mill, but I know there isn't any flex there, where as my drill press isn't super rigid, despite being "Rigid" brand.

[@NRDavis-wl8vn]

But.... Think of making a Video of trying the process. Scrap length of Aluminum and say a 1/4-20 tap. Not really necessary to keep everything locked down super tight. When you drilled out the Brass Plug you let it float a bit. In tapping that "float" is o.k. Just keep downward pressure and with no power you can stop the chuck by hand it you need to. Still have to back it out by hand but much faster than hand tapping both ways. In joy!

[@justinpyle3415]

in the correct envireonment, this temp flame can be used to get to welding temp, however the refractory materials and forge shape have to be pretty efficient. i suggest a dual set up of this, by using the 30psi regulator and adding a tee for a second burner, you wont need as long to get steel to welding temp with two, and it could pretty handily liquify the steel in an efficient forge/ foundry

[@richvandiverdds4311]

I’ve watched at least 15 of these on how to make a burner, and I think this one has been the most simplest and comprehensive covering all the unknowns. So after months of trying to decide on the right burner today I started buying the parts, though I AM curious why so many people use the welding tips drilled out yet this one works just fine with a quarter inch plug drilled out with a “60k bit” Which by the way seems to be about 2.65 mm. Hard to find locally but Amazon did have it for about eight dollars in tungsten. Thanks for making it sensible and doable. The flame seems to look right for the square forge I’ll soon weld up. I hope the lack of a Venturi doesn’t impair.

I have limited experience, but it looks to me that videos like this almost always show the burner burning beautifully in the open air.

I just test fired my burner based on your design last night. Worked perfectly. Now I can start building my gas forge. I made two changes, however. First was to the end cap. I drilled and tapped it to take a mig tip. The other was to the squared coupler. I used the drill press to put four dinples in where the screws that hold the burner tip assembly can seat themselves. My thinking was that this way I don't have to over tighten in order to prevent the assembly from shifting. Regardless, greatly appreciate you taking the time to research and make a video on the subject. Stay safe. Cheers.

[@oh8wingman]

That "cheap steel" is in fact ductile iron or malleable cast iron. You can tell by the chips when you are drilling it. Steel will spiral, even with a dull bit. Cast will give a granular chip just like the ones you got. Home Depot doesn't normally carry steel fittings as they cost more and few if any would ever know the difference. A better way to mount your burner gas jet might been to have used a 1 1/4" pipe plug with a hole drilled in the centre big enough for your gas jet to go through. Since the pipe plug has a 4 sided boss cast onto it you just drill and tap one hole to retain your gas nozzle. To get your air flow just drill 4 or 5 suitable holes through the plug around the boss. Much stronger and less likely to fall apart.

[@marcandrei8061]

Norman May no one cares smartass

[@TheChoncho212]

You can also tell it's cast be the mold marks on the side.

[@willchoate7072]

You do know steel can be cast, just because something has casting marks doesn't mean it's not steel. The chips or spirals is accurate.

[@JaakkoF]

Why do you sound like AvE :D

[@jmbstudio6873]

Not bad. Unfortunately you cannot run this type of burner with forced induction. I used a tee and brought my propane into the side of the tee and used a .6mm mig tip for a nozzle. Super efficient and runs way longer on way less gas. No brass needed in my setup either. Everyone copies Majestic or Diamondback forges. Those need about 30 psi of propane to get up to forge welding temperature, mine achieves the same temp at 6 psi. I run mine at 3 psi for forging. Also...as stated, zinc will kill you. BBQ regulators have enough psi....but are low flow regulators and will not work. Get one from Suburban Propane or a Propane supply outfit.

[@Maine307]

Today .. I make this ! I will let you know how it turns ! Semper Fi from Maine !

[@shepardsforgeh2031]

So glad you did this vid! I wanted to build mine but was to nervous to do it so I just bought mine from Alec steel. And I love it but I could have built it way cheaper!

[@jureloar]

Excelente video, muy claro Muchas gracias, saludo desde Colombia a

[@msp3298]

Great video! just started building one today, I hope it works

[@pashaveres4629]

a year later... did it work??

[@hannable3871]

Great video I've watched a few videos now on this subject. They all have made it so complicated. Yours however right to the point and easy to follow. So thanks.

[@ElementalMaker]

Thanks Chris! Glad you found it informative!

[@SandroSGeraldo]

Really cool. It's look like so easy to build and works so good.

[@ElementalMaker]

Sandro S. Geraldo it is a very easy build and works great! Thanks for checking out my channel!

[@hansdoel6375]

[@phaitoon8183]

I really like it. The work is great.

[@scott-kf1bi]

Awesome build, love it.

[@ElementalMaker]

Thanks Scott 👍

[@tygs6984]

Almost perfect! If you used a dye on the 2" nipple and extended the threads you could cut a piece of metal drill and tap it to fit those threads and then you will have an air control valve! Or get a nipple with longer threads .

[@blackfordoblique1965]

00:12 Awesome! Man that was quick too! I'm gettin' one!

[@axemanmike4390]

Great build, EASY to follow instructions! LOVE THE VID, love the humor! Always been interested in black/bladesmithing...just bought first anvil (Hay Budden) 160 pounder! Gotta start somewhere! Now the forge and burner! This vid is perfect, THANK YOU! Greetings from Salem, Oregon! Keep up the GREAT work! SUBBED! 👍👍

[@ElementalMaker]

Thank you!

[@mystbourne3432]

That’s a hell of a place to start. Good find.

[@kylewellman402]

Great design, awesome instructional video. I have already made my burners but im happy to see they are essentially identical. I will say though, you need to be careful if that 1" to 3/4" reducer you're using as an expansion area is galvanized. Get that hot enough and it will release some seriously nasty fumes that will make you feel like death for several days depending on level of inhalation. Metal fume fever.

[@jackmiller3628]

Thanks for the video. Very instructive. I do have a couple of questions if you don’t mind answering.1. How long will a 20# propane tank run using this burner?2. Is there any value in being able to control air flow too? Or enhance it?3. Is there some reference you would recommend to getting a deeper understanding on why this works as well as it appears to? Right now it all seems like a black art and would like to understand the science behind it.

I have found that when drilling soft metals it is much better to grind the cutting surface of the bit to a - 5 to 10 degree angle as to the face you will avoid the catching or grabbing effect at the end of your drill as it punches through. What is happening is as you go through the end of your cut the face angle vs the cut angle are too inclined and the softer metals tend to let the drill dig in too quickly. If you reduce the angle of attack it will not tend to pull in as the surface begins to punch through the last portion of your cut therefore reducing the likelihood of your tool ceasing at the end of the punch. Good vid and thanks for filling me in on the foundry. keep it up.

[@samp1394]

Very good video Now I know how to build mine. Thank you

[@ElementalMaker]

Glad it helped you out! Thanks for checking out my channel!

[@nathanbalaich9110]

Nice video, will by using this for my build. Only thing is to be careful with galvanized steel used in heating components. Those parts shouldn't get too hot here, but if they do they can release toxic fumes. Best to de-galvanize first just to be safe.

[@mark37thms]

finally a basic video showing how to make one

[@elalguazil]

That is a kick ass video Mister 👍🏽

[@doogiehowser78]

awesome burner mate and something most people can do to with average tools that most people have in there sheds , I also liked the nipple comments and the ky gel lol
