love seeing a rough looking blacksmith has a soft spot for cats
Dude shop cats totally increase shop productivity
I used an orbital sander without any paper on it. Pour your castable, then press the sander to the side and flip the switch. The vibration will work air bubbles out of the mix.
Your burner build is great video.
But cleaner to substitute plastic straws in place of the messsy carons and spay inside with WD 40
Thanks for your great help and teaching,Sir
(playing with cat) "wheres your home at?"
cat: "it here now hooman, you have passed the test of my ancestors"
Yes please make a video of the ribbon Burner. Really like your videos keep it up.. always watching and i love calico cats
That's a nice cat
Shop kitty! Build her a little cat shelter!
Cool foundry furnace video, badass cat video.
A video detailing how you made that ribbon burner would definitely be appreciated. Thank you for all your hard work. You have a great channel!
When a cat joins you in the shop or home - you are specially good sole.
Yey cat!
The internet is pleased by your cat tax!
I've never seen a Foundry furnace with a ribbon burner built into it that is awesome definitely gonna try this out at some point
Another great video!
I really enjoy your videos, they are very informative and delivered in a way I can understand. Thanks for sharing!!
Dude, the best thing about your videos is how you just cut right to the chase on what's important to know. SO refreshing in this world of YouBoob blabbing BS jockeys where you think you're going to watch something useful then waste three quarters of the time listening to someone run their chops about nothing. And for the record -- the cat is not the same thing -- everyone knows cats are smart -- and that one clearly digs your energy. Cat's appreciate no-nonsense guys too. ;-) So, now you've got crucible capabilities, you must make a mighty blade mold and get some close-up footage pouring the molten goodness into it in a dimly lit setting -- preferably with tune from the Wizard of Oz that the Wicked Witch's soldiers sang going in the background. A fearsome Viking helm might also go well in that sequence... Love the channel -- keep it up!
That is awesome! I’m excited to see some crucible steel!!
Please do a ribbon burner build. That would be very much appreciated.
Didn’t expect a cat video.
I would love to see a video on the ribbon burner been thinking of it on my furnace
I've been wanting to so this for a while and you confirmed it for me.
Ribbon burner foundry here I come!
That is awesome John! Would love to see the ribbon burner build if you get to making a video! Thanks and God Bless!
Another great video, mate. Looking forward to the next one.
Great video , John!
Very informative...thanks for posting.
The trial of crucible! SUCCESS!
Using an incandescent light bulb as a heater. I have a box of them in different sizes and wattages for that exact reason.
Your doing cool stuff I'm gonna sub
Cool stuff, good job!!
Love 2 c a ribbon burner build. Also good thinking on the sencondary coating as wear protection
Thank you for the videos
Awesome video
good video!
A video of building a ribbon burner would be highly appreciated.
+1 for the neighbours cat tax
I see what Ginger did there...
thats cool
Thanks your a big help and I did see a.you tube video and the builder was.going with one blower set up a use it on several different size of forges to save him money for many blower set ups.
Thanks good help
To my knowledge you cant melt steel with a propane burner, but you sure can oxidise it into a pile of good for nothing crap by adding a powerful fan, same as a coal forge does but if you make a chamber you can melt steel with coal or wood they can get hotter than propane.
Try adding some Itc 100 or compatible IR reflector to your forge insides for some extra heat reflecting to increase your temps, but you still need to turn that fan down.
Holy volume gradient. At some points I had to turn it up to hear your voice clearly, but then you started up the angle grinder and I nearly went deaf. Like the content so I'm still giving you a like And subscribe, but you need an editor to work out your volume gradients and dropping the gain on power tool noise, and a lapel mic would help with consistent vocal volumes.
Yea man ribbon burner all the way .. We're did you find the 1/4 in needle value is it the same kind you can get for water? If not I'd like to know we're you got it so I can upgrade my ribbon. Crusable steel sounds great it's definitely something I've been wanting to try myself... Thanks for the great videos John...... Martin
M&S BLADES high temp tools
Thanks...
Old Hickory Foundry.
A black cat from the neighborhood always comes by when I'm working on weapons in my yard
Is she my unofficial shop cat?
Always a good day when I see one of your vids uploaded! this might be a dumb question but could you use the same burner setup without the casted ribbon burner part to make a forced air burner?
Evans Leblanc you could make the furnace the same using Venturi burners but I don’t know how well it would perform
@@OldHickoryForge Thanks for the reply, actually i guess i didn't specify what I meant was to use in a regular forge to build a forced air burner if that makes sense
Evans Leblanc oh yeah. My forge runs off a ribbon burner I have a video on it if you scroll back
That's epic! How did the crucible hold up?
The Weapon Artisan it actually did degrade pretty noticeably, which doesn’t surprise me. At these temperatures they will probably only last 3-4 firings.
Hey, what do you think about using multiple ribbon burners (2-3) in an old turkey smoker about 2- 3 feet long for a forge capable of doing longer blades like swords?
I was initially going to use 3-4 venturi burners, but the ribbon burners seem like a considerably better option.
Do you think you would need separate fuel systems for each burner or could they be ran off common header?
Really love your videos!
That is bad a@@ed there! 1st I've seen a ribbon used in a foundry.
Now I've seen foundry that easily melts cast iron , but it runs on forced air ( vacuum cleaner on a simulated vfd.) Propane and waiste oil injection. In theory that would work with the ribbon burner part, in theory. You know the oil is atomized by blown air/propane...well it works in a venturi burner like a fire breathing dragon and will melt cast iron in minutes. ( Note there are specific crucibals for iron/steel )
I question if the internal baffle plate would deflect the atomized oil enough to precipitate it again. Air/oil/propane can get up right at or tad over 3000 in a venturi style burner , with a ribbon it may be a tad more...if the waiste oil stayed atomized.
Also have you considered adding ITC 100HT? it heats faster and refracts more.
Got all my stuff in now to build forge n foundry...just waiting for warmer temps. Old n cold are good for drinks...not so much for me lol lol
Excellent work man! What PSI were you running at there at the end?
Paul Gibson about 15. Cranking it up higher the gas outpaced the air a good bit. A bigger blower would speed up the process.
@@OldHickoryForge Incredible. Much lower than I would have expected. Can't wait to see what kind of trouble you can get into with that!
Kitty!
👍👍🍻🍻
How's the furnace running?
How's the furnace working out?
What's the advantage of a ribbon burner? How do they work?
Ben Levitt spreads the heat out more and the fuel and air have more time to mix which gets you more complete fuel consumption. Basically you get more heat with less fuel
Old twenty pound tank?
Sweet video. What blower are you using? I'm having trouble finding a cheaper one
Balsam Forge a bounce house blower can be had at pawn shops for pretty cheap and will put out plenty of air. A professional grade forge blower is never going to be 100 dollars plus.
@@OldHickoryForge I'm in Canada. Lol you would be surprised what a blower costs here.
A shop vac piped into an air gate will do well
@@OldHickoryForge that's what I'm leaning towards. Think I will try just a blown forge to start with then work on a ribbon.
Were do u get ur blower motots from?
Neil Graham blacksmiths depot. But a cheap bounce house blower will work just as well. You can find them at pawn shops usually
@@OldHickoryForge thank u 4 the info. Keep up the great work
Possibly a stupid question since I am a total noob but instead of a blower like that could you basically do what you done with the gas twice and hook an air compressor to the other connector?
brantley tinnin no. You have to have enough volume of air flow for the air and gas to mix and combust. Also you need a constant air supply. Air compressor won’t work
@@OldHickoryForge ok thanks
Looks like she's yours now. Lol
Hands sore?
Why no refractory mix ??
It is all too easy, same day use.
A) Plaster of Paris and Silica Sand ... PLUS
Sodium Silicate/Potassium Silicate ...
DIY >>> WATER GLASS
Silica Gel (kitty litter crystals)
Drain Cleaner (Draino Crystals, my choice)
Water,
Heat.
Too Easy ... a million uses for Sodium Silicate.... Research it.... tis a 200+ year old recipe !!
First!
Heck naw
Nothing to it really
Great job!
