You guys that do RUclips are amazing!!! Not only are you true craftsman but you shoot fantastic videos and show us what you do! I love to build I love to see your creativity and I'm sure you have hundreds of hours that we don't see! Inspiring so man of us with your creativity and providing us with not only tools but ideas that help us all grow!!!! Thanks Brian!!!
Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend.
Brian, Maybe there’s a way to temporarily cap the straws when pouring the refractory. I’m sure you could design some type of template with a series of small bosses and pull the plugs when the refractory is all poured in. Vibrate the sides with a palm sander if you’re concerned with trapping air at the bottom (while capped) Just an idea. Keep up the amazing work on your page. Great to see your passion for American manufacturing. I’m sure that’s rubbing off on a lot of people, myself included. -NR
How on earth did you sync the time-lapse on the 3D printer to make it look like it wasn't running, Brian!!?? Love it. You gotta try the peristaltic pump idea, though 💪🏻
Could you use solid HDPE rod in lieu of straws? My 2x72 is finally ready to grind some knives. I am still playing with the upgrade tracking kit. If it was not for you chasing your dream I wouldn’t have a 2x72 this early in my journey into knife building. Thanks Tom Krenitsky
It's good to keep uniform with your beginning print farm. Any hangups you've found with the Longer's? I should also add your lighting and video is top notch, audio is great as well for a shop environment. Kudos friend.
What do you think of a 4 sided ribbon burner for a barrel forge? Four ribbon burners at 90 degrees (as looking down) to encompass the whole crucible in swirling flame? I’ve never seen one and I’m wondering why. Thanks, Paul Oh, where can I get the STP files for your gen 4 2 x 72” grinder?
I would think that could work. But it might just be an overkill (size dependent) also it may be a fuel hog. You can get the step files for the Revolution on my website www.HouseMade.us we sell a CAD version now that includes those files. Thank you!
@@HouseMadeUS Thanks. I thought it might be over kill, but would limit each burner to a single row of holes. Overall, the area of all openings would be the same as a single, multi row burner. I really like your grinder design. Just need to save for the parts. Thanks, Paul
I'm building my much as discussed. I'm taking 6 months to build due to health issues, but now I just finished doors that need mounted. Like the doors mounted in this video, I'll do a similar hinge but only one large door. I didn't like my design but the double doors I set up so I could do either if needed. I didn't see your forge before I design mine but believe my forge might have advantages it has 2 " wool insulation on most of its square walls and 2.5 inches over top panel of the Cast o Lite interior of 1 inches of mortar My burner says angle gives a circulation of heating, and some say that good and some disagree . Thanks
What if the floor of your mold was made of steel with steel rod welded into it instead of straws? The rigidity would help with pouring the refractory too. Plus as someone else suggested some good vibrations to help settle the refractory. Also, I just absolutely love what you are doing for the manufacturing/ maker community! Keep it up good sir!
Great idea with the 3D printed forms. You might get far better results and burner longevity to make sure you’ve removed all the bubbles you can from the refractory. Also, if you plug the ends of the straws with pieces of dowel that are slightly pointed on the ends, your funnel system will work better and faster. Just sayin’. Thanks for all the great projects!
That funnel is genius! So great to see your progression, Brian! Congrats to Brent for joining the team too!

3D printers and small CNC routers completely changed my design process and I love it!
Kickin Ass Brian, love to see it ;-)! Will let you now next time I'm in Naples area (maybe this Winter??) and can get together again!
Sounds good!! Hit me up!!
Interesting challenges with good solutions. Good job, Brian.
Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend.
Thanks so much Jared, I always appreciate your positivity! 🙏🏻🤩
@@HouseMadeUS your very welcome I try my hardest each and every single day. God bless.
Nice work as always.
Looking forward to building a forge this year thanks.
Love the funnel!!!!
Love these progress videos. You make timelapse look good!
Took a long time to sort out those time lapses! 🤠 thank you brother! 🙏🏼
You're killing it!!
Love your workflow!!
Thank you Matt!
Another great video.
Friggin' LOVE your vids. Keep them coming!!!
You could maybe design a vibrating table to settle the refractory. Interesting watching the project evolve Brian takecare.
Just built one! 🤠
Great great quality video as always thanks for keeping us engaged
I always enjoy your videos. You do good work. Thanks.
Paul
Thank you so much. 🙏🏼
This is epic stuff brother! Amazing!
brian you have come a long way i love being there to see all these cool products your creating your my hero keep up the great work😃👍 Mark

You’re killin it bro. I love watching your channel. You’re super talented and it inspires me to pursue excellence. Keep going man!
Thank you Jonathan! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Awesome stuff! Thanks Brian. 🤙🤘
Thanks so much my man! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Love following along brother!
Thanks Brandon! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thanks for bringing us along. I have no doubt your new product will become a new standard.

I appreciate that Manny, thanks so much! 🤩🙏🏻
Heat and crimp straws.thats what i use for cappie and blue gill bobbers.
i think you might what to get some kind of vibratory device to help settle the refractory, like a sawsall with no blade . just a passing thought
Yeah we have done that on a few and it works out great. I now need a whole table to vibrate
Nice!

My 2x72 is finally ready to grind some knives. I am still playing with the upgrade tracking kit.
If it was not for you chasing your dream I wouldn’t have a 2x72 this early in my journey into knife building.

Hi Tom, yeah I'd like to figure out a better straw situation at some point. I'll have to look into it more. Thanks for watching. 🙏🏼
bees wax rods instead of straws? place, cure, melt out, pour hot wax into rod mold, cure, repeat. adds extra steps per burner but reusable with ease
My burner is on its way!
Brian, have you thought of using a silicone mold to cast the burner in? Just curious if it wasn’t thought of or there’s a reason why you cant
It's good to keep uniform with your beginning print farm. Any hangups you've found with the Longer's? I should also add your lighting and video is top notch, audio is great as well for a shop environment. Kudos friend.
The longer printers are work horses for the money. I beat them up and they keep producing clean prints. And thank you for your kind words. 🙏🏼
Can it be posible to make a round 3ft assembly full of burners?
That would be a good design. I went with a smaller version of this and it works great

4:32 why not just use hot glue or something? It would sufficiently cover the straw tips and not allow the refractory inside
That's not a bad idea. Thank you

Thanks Armen! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@HouseMadeUS yes sir
velcro.. how does it work???
Do you sell these ribbon burners?
Paul
Yes, we sell them on our website www.HouseMade.us
I saw my name!!
? Plug the straws, paraffin maybe.
Is the ribbon burner forge almost ready for production? I’m ready to upgrade my forge
We are getting close yes. Maybe another month
@@HouseMadeUS awesome
