That's piping 🥵 🔥 Hot! Around 2500⁰f should do anything a feller needs I'd reckon.
Thanks for the video!
Blessings aboundant brother, hope all is well and getting better!
Crawford out🙏🔥⚒️🧙🏼♂️
I bought one with your link and its on my bench to put together today. Also bought the 132lb Anvil and its on the way via FedEx.
Thanks for the motivation, Roy.
Great video Roy!
Thank you for your time and efforts
Those Temps are pretty impressive.
Could do a temperature control video for this video? Like maintaining a steady temperature for the normalizing cycles, or the hold times for say 1095 or 80CRV2.. (
Went out and bought one. I am pretty excited.
Can you harden a HF anvil, can you forge weld in mr volcano,
Another great episode of blacksmithing-busters.
Pretty sure HF anvil's ard made from cast iron which isn't going to get very hard. You probably could forge weld with a Mr volcano just be aware that you will need to reline it more frequently if you do.
I have one of these forges and I've made a number of tomahawks by bending and forge welding farrier rasps. Works great and I love this little forge. The only negative is you can't do larger projects, but I use my coal forge for those, so it's not a big problem.
I bought a mr volcano last year and am so happy that you chose that brand to test and use haha....Is it worthwhile to get a regulator?
Thank you, Thank you! So often we just do things without thinking. Its checking on things like us that teach ourselves. BTW, I use an IR temp gun every time my forge is on, just to see where everything is at, :) Great job Roy!!!
Excellent demonstration and I look forward to winning one 😉
Thank you for making this review. I was thinking of buying one of these and this definitely seals the deal that I i will be buying one.
Just got mine delivered ordered through your link. I am excited to get started with it!
I have now used my little Mr. Volcano Hero forge a couple times now since getting it a few days and I absolutely love it. I plan on trying to make a small billet of damascus with it tomorrow. I'm fairly confident that it'll get hot enough for it. I really appreciate all your reviews on it and the continued testing and such as it was that that really made me pull the trigger and get one. I'm glad I did. For the money you can't go wrong. I just make custom knives and for that purpose it'll be about all I need. I have a little bit bigger forge if I ever make any swords but for now I don't plan on it. I just can't get over how well made the little hero forge is and everything you get with it for less than a hundred bucks. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal.
That's awesome just ordered me one can not wait to get it.
Amazing! If you have fellow blacksmith friends, have them set up their popular gas forge brands to see which one gets up to forge welding heat at what pressure. I don't believe there is such a video in existence. Monumental!
Try getting the forge up to heat, put a piece of steel in there for a bit. Pull it out and laser temp the piece.
Time to get a pressure gauge for my tank thanks again for a great video
I'm going to order that regulator and hose. Don't really like the rubber one. Thanks for another great video Roy.
I've got 3 of the 30 psi ones x 12 feet from Amazon and no issues and they work great.
Very nice job Roy, very well explained video. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. God bless.
Great video Roy, really appreciate you putting the ol' girl through her paces. How long do you suggest soak time in a lil' gasser like this should be?
Great information here! If you were to get one measuring device would you get the laser or thermocouple? Thanks
Thanks for the video!!!
Great videos Roy. What is the proper temperature or color for forging mild steel? High carbon steel? It's hard to gauge color on video.
Thank you. I've learned so much from your videos.
Thanks Roy, any info is good info , I will look up a conversion chart to get temp in cel !
Could you do a video like this but with the added ITC-100 also sold by Mr. Volcano on Amazon? Claims to increase forge temps by at least 20%
I can’t say specifically to this forge but my home one I found it roughly halved the time it took to get to temp and added about 100C to the upper temp. It’s worth adding IMO.
Watched your previous video on tuning for oxygen neutral environment. I assume that if I increase fuel pressure, I need to increase air flow but still keep the dragon breath just outside the forge opening.
Hi, new viewer here. People keep saying you can't get a good temper on blades made from 1095 bar stock from propane forges. Is that true?
That’s a great video of your forge welding set-up. I had no idea an IR gun could measure those temperature levels. Do you think the IR gun is actually more accurate in measuring forge temperature than the k-type thermocoupler given it’s measuring IR reflectivity from the refractory coatings (are you using IT -100 on the firebricks?). Also what is the max measurement rating if the thermocouole?
I have the older oval 2 burner Mr. Volcano. Assuming I set it up per your last video, do you think I could get it about the same heat?
That's totally awesome on a single $88 dollar forge. Very impressive and Thank You Roy for the demo now quit wasting that precious propane!! It's tripled in price lately.~
Where would I find fire brick that is rated over 2500°? Or is that something I should just be looking for online somewhere? Think I really love the Mr volcano forge thinking about getting one for some of the smaller projects I do and replace the single burner I made which works but the Mr volcano seems cleaner and hold some larger projects.
Hi where did you get the new regulator and hose?
What temperature do you recommend forging at? Also, how heavy of a hammer do you think I should use for standard forging? (I am 14 years old so I probably couldn't handle a hammer more than 6 or 7 pounds) Does it just depend on what I am comfortable using? God bless, have an awesome day. :D
Most people don't need more than a 3lbs hammer. I would recommend a 3lbs rounding hammer and a 3lbs cross peen hammer.
@@a2c340 Thank you! I'll see if I can find some 3lbs hammer heads at my great grandfather's old farm.
@@theoldenbrick2466 For smaller stock like 1/4", practicing Nails and Leafs and hooks etc and to planish larger work 2 lbs is plenty, actually. You will be able to forge a LOT longer and with more fun than with a hammer too large. Just make sure to smooth the corners and edges of a hardware store hammer, they mess up the looks of your work.
Don't go over a 2lb hammer maybe use 1 1/2lb til you build yourself up .
Anything over 2lb hammer work should be sledgehammer work .
Don't blow your arm out just because you can.
Blacksmithing is a marathon not a race.
I agree about the 2-2.5 lb hammer. Adding velocity increases force more than adding weight. (Energy = mass x velocity squared)
I’ve got the same lazer thermometer and always wondered how accurate they are. Not sure why I haven’t bought a k-type thermometer probe. The lazer is about 90* higher than my evenheat oven. But that’s only around 1500-1600. It says my forge gets over 2700*, which it does get very hot going by color. Mild steel and wrought iron have no problem welding in it.
Like to see what mr. Volcano does with both ends blocked up and as high as it will run properly.
Hi Roy I have a question this might sound a bit stupid to ask but will larger bits of steel be hotter in the solid fuel forge and be more easily forged as aposed to the gas forge or dose it not really matter that much
where can I find the item that is reading the k type thermocouple, the yellow thing
Those blue pyrometers put out 2 lasers typically. When they are aligned it as at the correct Temperature vs the laser being spread. Fun fact. Good stuff tho. Makes me want to put mine on a tripod for giggles. Should be about 36 inches. If memory serves on the manuals. What handheld do you have for the k type?
This may be a stupid question but can coating your fire brick in satanite help or will it just chip off?
I’ve coated them in ITC in the past and it worked fine. Can’t swear it made a difference but it didn’t hurt.
That's my gauged regulator too
What thermometer do you use. I bought two different brands and laser types off of Amazon and both of their reading are all jacked up and not even close to what the readings should be.
That's within a couple hundred degrees of melting steel. In a tiny little $88 forge. Shocking.
Have you worked with the Hero 2 ?
Nice!👍👍👍
Looks like you and Jess have got rid of the sad scammers Roy. Nice job; it's good to be able to read a comments section, free from these low-lifes.
What temp rating did the fire brick it come with?
wouldn't you add more air when you add more gas?
very good video! 2400-ish degrees... that should be "welding temp", Right??
Umm. . . ✋QUESTION Roy: don't you need to adjust the air gate "thingy" that controls how much air gets into the burner? Like if you add more gas pressure doesn't that make the flame burn richer and not a "neutral flame" anymore? 🤔 Hmmm 🤔
Not necessarily. It all depends on burner design. Some will go richer and some will go leaner as you increase the pressure. The velocity of the gas traveling down the burner tube actually draws the air in through the opening and creates a pretty strong suction. Admittedly, I do not own this forge, so hopefully Roy will comment here with what he learned about this one.
Great science, don't melt the new thermometer. Lol
How long does an average size propane tank last with that forge
I haven't really timed it, but at 20 PSI with a 5-gallon propane tank, mine seems to give me about four hours of burn time.
Cool!
I have the same forge, Santa brought it to me. It didn't take long for the name plate to fall off. Ordinarily I wouldn't care, but it has an American Flag on it and that's not cool that it just fell off.
That's a nice meter you've got at the back of the forge. We're you an electrician at another life?
Mike Mayo, do you know what brand/ type it is? Thanks
Never mind, I just heard him say fieldpiece. It's model HS36, about $175 incase anyone is interested.
I would like to see how hot it would get at 30psi.
Привіт чудовий канал лайк 👌👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻теж знімаю буду радий дружбе. Привіт з Украина 👋👋👋
haha rest of the world, now you do the conversion
Weld
Did Mr. Volcano go out of business? It looks like they sell everything through Amazon, but all of their items are out of stock.
We talked with Mr. Volcano recently and they sent a shipment of forges to Amazon, but Amazon hadn't updated the inventory yet.
