Making a Small Propane Foundry and Forge Burner in the Home Shop

- Previous casting attempts have used a commercial 26 kw blow torch, but I found the air intakes were too close to the foundry chamber so the torch tended to suck reflected combustion gases back into itself and hence starving itself of oxygen. This is an experiment to try making my own naturally aspirated burner with a bit more distance between the reflected flames and the air intakes. Operating pressure is about 3 to 4 bar. Metal working equipment is primarily a Warco 250 lathe, and WM16 mill. CAD work is in fusion 360. The burner design is based on the book 'Gas Burners for Forges, Furnaces, and Kilns' by Michael Porter. As ever, try this at your own risk and I make no statement to the safety or operation of the design shown.
So I'm browsing RUclips looking at various burners because I don't like most of the more common designs. And I see this beautiful thumbnail.
Of course it's one done by someone machine tools. Makes sense because you can see it's a machined slot for the air inlet and clearly that's a smoothly machine pipe to slide the air restrictor over it...
6-year-old video but nicely done burner. For anyone complaining, this entire thing could be done with a hand drill, Dremel, hand files, etc.... Except it's a lot of work. Lol
finally, a burner not made from plumbing parts I can't source in England! now I get the mechanics I can make one from whatever I can find, cheers dude!
Bonus points for including "Charley Says".
... I love how nervously that little torch you light it with dances around.
Great job. I had the same issues with a store bought burner. Some of us do have tools like this and appreciate the time and effort you put into this video.
Love your design friend... Mig welding tip are great! Get this book
"Gas Burners for Forges, Furnaces, and Kilns" One of the best books you'll find.
This build is very close to the build in the book it has office sizes.. all the info and more, great for the novice and the pro on a budget. Can't say enough on the details in this book. There is/was a Co. building torches almost alike for NASA but all stainless. The actual torch is probably overkilled, but almost anyone can build several designs depending on the tooling you may have or not !!
That's about how I plan to make mine, except the MIG nozzle is an M6 thread. Nice work you've done there...thumbs up.
Great video for those that have a machine shop in their garage...
Check out the burner from 'Chili forge', I recommend the air inlet slots be squared off and tapered toward the fire end like those!
I believe your on the right track for a very efficient burner!
Cheers
Great video! How do you calculate the 12:1 ratio? I don´t understand which parameters are involved in the equation.
Très bonne vidéo
dude most people aint got tools Iike this
Es muy bueno cuando tienes la erramienta necesaria pero cuando no tienes un torno o una makinaria como esa es difícil Aser algo así ... gracias por el vídeo
I bought a physical copy of Michael Porter's book, been meddling with his designs for a few years. Which of his designs is this particular burner? I only ask because the book has many different versions to choose from.- 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch and 1 1/4 inches. Also is it from the section about foundries or did you use things from the other chapters? He jumps around in his book, poorly written about a real nice set of burners.
It isn’t really any of them, so the critical information from the book was the burner tube length:diameter ratio, nozzle flare, and the MIG tip size to use. My burner tube is 23mm inside diameter, with a 0.8 mm MIG nozzle.
Where did you get the thermo-couple from???
They are k-type that I found on ebay.
Hi David : do you ever make up sets of burners for gas kins for potters.
Hi Paul - unfortunately, it is just a one off as it takes so long to make. But thanks for asking.

Question I have a access to all the same tools was wondering did you make your plans did you find your plans and if you made any way I can get a set I'm talking about the detail drawings
It’s all based on Michael Porter’s book 'Gas Burners for Forges, Furnaces, and Kilns' , and after that drawn in Fusion 360. If you contact me via Google+ and send me your email address I can send you a PDF copy of my plans.
send please the blue print, mail email is: breno.contrucci@hotmail.com
i'm from Brazil
@@DavidCambridge Hi! Do you still have the plans? It would be very helpfull for me! My email adress is ezequielsegui@gmail.com
Thanks a lot!!!
@@DavidCambridge I would love a set myself but am not sure how to find you on Google +?
ohh yeah...because we all just have a lathe right there in our garage!!!
I do. Three if you count the antique watch makers one.
Is your measure in mm??
Don't bother listening to the tosspots who complain that they don't have these tools. This video obviously isn't for them, and it's sad they can't see that.
This video is great, thank you
Thanks Anarasha
1078 и всё?
What's with the imbeciles complaining about not having the tools? Make do with what you have, great video
No one is going to copy this. as most people dont have access to such tools.
Nice dude, been checking out some of your stuff, I gave this here vid a like! You doing ok today? I myself do vlogs, if you like such things, I'm trying to be fairly consistent with putting them out. They're here if you like funny things: ruclips.net/user/M3GreatRiffs Keep up the good work!
Interesting but THE REST OF THE WORLD DOES NOT HAVE ALL THAT SH!T IN THERE GARAGE
There is not enough time to read time words.
required expensive tool to make one
First you should’ve posted, “if you have thousands of dollars” that’s a lot of money you’re asking people to spend to build a f#%king propane burner!!!! 🤔
