Thanks. Would have been good to know.
Thanks for this video.
It is exactly what I was looking for as I start to use my new forge!
Thank you brother!! As my 15 yr old son is just now beginning to forge, meaning that he just set up his forge and hasn't put any metal in it yet, this is one of the most useful forging videos I've seen.
I'm glad it is helpful to you and your son 🙂
Hello
Thank you!! Realized I've been running in an oxygen rich environment with my little forge. Great to see a demonstration with the same forge I have.
Thanks for all your videos as well, I really appreciate them.
As a brand new blacksmithing hobbyist, when you explained how excess scale formed, all of a sudden the “ahah!!” moment hit me! Thanks so much for this!
This is by far the best explanation of flame management that I have ever seen for a gas forge. Super helpful, I honestly had no idea what I was looking for in the process of forging with gas. Now I have more direction in the way that I am practicing with using the forge. Thank you!
I don't think I've ever seen this explained before. Thanks Roy
Thank you for watching
Finally an easy to understand forge tuning video! Kudos to Roy!!
This is a fantastic explanation. I just had a “weld” come apart and I was wondering why. Turns out louder is not always hotter. You just leveled me up Roy. Thanks.
This is exactly what I needed!!!! I watched several videos on gas forges and no one actually showed the how to mix the gas and fuel properly.
Well that's awesome Roy!! Explains why i didn't get that weld to stick. Oxidizing vs carburizing flame from oxy acetylene was my frame of reference before but this was definitely more beneficial and being the exact forge I'm using it's the best tutorial I've seen yet.😁👍
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
One of the best tips I've seen for gas forges. Thanks.
Very welcome ☺️
I’m only half way through this video but wanted to pause to let you know how informative this is for me! Thank you! Your videos are always great. I am an aspiring blacksmith. I just in the past few years got heavy into woodworking and crafting things, and of course I always need more tools, which are expensive (especially now) so naturally it made me want to get into forging my own tools and now I discovered I absolutely love forging. I built a box style bellows and a brick forge,using lump charcoal, but it’s been so hot and dry here lately that I’m too concerned that the sparks from the charcoal will start a fire (there was just a brush fire close to here last week) so I’m trying to learn about gas forges now. Thank you for your knowledge.
As a refrigeration/gas fitter tech the last 25 years, this video is the best visual demonstration in plain english I’ve seen to date. Great job, sir.
Thank you for helping me to fix my sputtering problem. I had not idea what to do. I thought my burner orifice just wasn't clean but I took it out and it was clean as a whistle. It's working now and I know even more than I came for. Thank you for your very informative, professional video.
Excellent demonstration! It will definitely help me at my forge.
Awesome to hear that 😊
Very informative! Makes flame control real comprehensible, thank you Roy!
Fantastic explanation! Only disappointment was from my wife who was bored out of her mind while I ingested this knowledge!
Seriously though awesome videos. I am continually learning so much from you Roy. Thanks so much.
Thank you Roy for making this video, I believe that this is something that not many people know.
very helpful video.
I've been trying and basically failing to learn on a coal (anthracite) forge, but my nephew gifted me that exact forge so I predict this video will be very helpful once I set it up. Thank you
Just started forging and it seemed like I had a lot of forge scale. This video made a lot of sense to me and now I know why I had so much scale. Thank you for the awesome information!
Thanks so much for this! I bought a Mr. Volcano forge earlier this year and am finally getting a chance to start using it. There isn't much h info out there on this topic that I've found. Very well explained, nicely done!
Very interesting. Very nicely explaining to that Roy. Thanks so much. Very nice video today. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend Roy. Forge on. God bless.
Thank you Jared God bless you My friend 🙏
@@ChristCenteredIronworks you're welcome.
Thank you for this. I did not know the proper way to adjust a gas forge.
Very welcome glad that the video was helpful ☺️ God bless
Thank you just bought my Mr Volcano forge and been hesitant on using the propane because of inexperience but this just gave me the confidence I need to keep going and just go for it fosho much thanks and appreciate it 🙏🏾
My Mr.Volcano should arrive by 10 am today. I've been needing to have a small gas forge for club meetings! If I win one I'll be donating it to the club.
Great explanation Roy. Reasons for much flame outside the forge or not much makes it a lot clearer.
I'm glad It was helpful Tom 🙂
This is a really useful video for beginners. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Just got my Mr Volcano the other day and had no idea how or why to adjust the flame. This was very informative! Subscribed.
Thank you, Comrade Blacksmih. Hope all is well in St. Petersburg.
Lol wouldn't know I'm in northern Michigan 🤔 but maybe 😏
@@ChristCenteredIronworks no wonder you’re dressed so warm. Btw great vid and very timely.
Well, as Joe once said, "Now I know, and knowing is half the battle!" Thanks Roy.
Roy this has been one of if not the best video. I have been working on a gas forge for a year now and I needed this. Before I was the guy with his wife's hair dryer with some bricks and coal in the backyard lol. It works to see how far you want to go and spend in this rabbit how hahaha. Thank you
Good video. I'm just starting to put together a gas forge. I've been working with coal forges for the past few years, so it's helpful to see how gas forges run.
A big thank you Roy, you cleared up the block I had in my head about this.
I'm glad it helped 😊
Wow thanks for this video Roy. I’ve pulled off some forge welds in my gas forge but definitely struggle with it. But now I can see I have not been running it correctly. Will be watching this again the next time I fire it up to compare. And I’ll be trying to get one of these in your giveaways this year haha. Thanks!
Great way to explain how to make adjustments.
Glad you enjoyed it Brad 😊
A real big thank you! Being new to a gas forge that's going to help a lot!
I'm glad it will 🙂 thanks for watching
I bought that Mr Volcano Forge about two months ago for $75 new...... What a deal :)
Thanks Dude. Total noob still wondering if I want to get into blacksmithing. This helped a lot.
I really appreciate you showing off the little forge. I plan on getting one of these soon and these videos will help me out when I do.
Bruh I've been trying to forge for 2 years now and no one explained this to me now hopefully I can make higher quality knifes thanks man 🙏
Been trying to get my Majestic forge set up correctly. Hopefully this helps. Thanks sir.
Thank you for this Roy.
Very welcome and thank you for watching 🙂
Thank you. This was helpful to me. I've been running way too lean the whole time. I've heard all about it but just seeing alongside the information was nice.
Glad this video is going to help 🙂👍👍
Ok Roy, Today I had time to put on the first coat of Satanite. Man what a struggle!!! First off this really works best if two people are there. One to spread the refractory, and one to rotate the forge! Second, here is Diana's tip to everyone! This is a lot like frosting a cake. So a cake icing knife works really well to thinly spread the refractory! A steel one is recommended. It sticks less. Also a large tall mug of water (Stein size) is recommended to periodically dip the icing knife in. This also aids in reducing the sticking. The long blade helps to reach inside the forge and spread the refractory. Also,another tip. Start around the burner tube entry on that side and work out to the ends. Then you don't end up with a void in the first coat like I did. A medium-size plastic bucket to mix in works well and a spatula helps to scrape the sides and not waste the mix. You will need every drop of the first mix to get a thin coat on the inside, So don't waste it. And follow the sheet instructions for measuring the water! A kitchen scale that measures in oz's is very important! Don't forget to tare the measuring vessels weight.
Great video but also I have to say .. lovely barn space you have there
Wow. Great video. Between this and your forge welding videos, I've learned an amazing amount. THANKS!!!!
So glad to hear that 🤗
Thanks. You confirmed what I was doing as right but now I understand it all better.
Thanks for the demo helps a lot
I'm glad it helped 🙂
Wow I can't even touch my air valve with bare hands while its on... That gas forge gets hot SUPER fast! Great vid :D
Great information!
Thank you Tom ☺️
@@ChristCenteredIronworks My forge should be here Thursday, so your recent videos have been invaluable!
Quick question, is there somewhere I can get a list of common metals (H13, 4140, S7, 1095, etc), best use (tool, blade, etc), and quenching instructions if necessary?
Thank you for all of your guidance and the encouragement you give new smith’s!
Nice explanation Roy, the difference Heat treat to forging, is you want to be a little more on the rich side rather than neutral. Scaling and Carbonation on the blade means some of the outside carbon has migrated to the surface then you have to grind it off, lack of oxygen helps to reduce carbon migration. A lot of people even put a carbon source inside blade foil to react with any oxygen present.
Very nice work. I like the fact that you are out spoken as a Christian
Thank you! I was wondering why my forge wasnt that hot. I had the air cranked to maximum. I am almost at sea level, so I expect I will need to close that air valve at less than half.
thank you for this video. Best explanation I've had that actually makes the most sense to me
Thank you so much! I've been running it with the choke fully open as I always thought more oxygen in a flame=hotter
Holy cow I've been putting WAY too much gas and oxygen and this has saved me so much amazing
That was Extremely Helpful.
I am torn between using a fire brick home made forge and buy something like the Mr Volcano to try out my hand at forging.
Either way it will be gas for my first adventure so this video helps a lot with getting the "Hot Box" running right.
Army
If you are just starting out I would suggest you buy a gas forge vs build.. this way you can see how a forge is supposed to run And then you'll know what to look for when you build your own. Welcome to the blacksmithing community ☺️
@@ChristCenteredIronworks Thank you, I was on the fence... and then i saw Mr Volcano has a 2 burner version.... But I think I will use your affiliate link and give this one a try.
Army
Perfect. I have that exact forge, and have been guessing what to do all along!
Thank you for watching
Same
Fantastic video brother. It's like we're right there. Forge 101 on proper gas/air ratio is critical to forging and forge-welding.
Very good explanation.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Great information for forge tuning 👏 👏👏👏
Thank you Wayne for the support 🙂
This was a huge help thanks!
WOW - that was such a great, informative video. That answers many questions I had. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO ! In Christ - Steve
God bless you sir And thank you for watching
I've been looking for a video that was this informative. Ty.
Thank you for this. Will really help me adjust my forge for different jobs. Well explained, simple basic information.
Thanks so much! This is REALLY helpful!
I'm glad It was 🙂
“Really clean fluxless forge welds” 😂😂😂
Yeppers if you get your Air to fuel mixture right it's a breeze to do 🙂 thanks for watching
Thanx Roy! I needed that.
Your welcome glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
Great info thanks, just got a Hero 2 and I'm stoked!
Thanks Roy, been using a gas forge for a few years but it’s all been trial and error so far! Looking forward to your new valve when we can talk about gas pressures!
Thank you Paul 😊 the new regulator And hose got in last week so expect a video here soon!
Thanks Roy!! Always wondered about this exact thing with my homemade forge and burners.
Hey Roy....the beard's looking good!!
Thank you I've been working on it 😉
Great video. Can't wait to paly around with it later this week.
Thank you for watching And hope you have fun 😊
Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I would’ve thought louder was better. If someone was making their own gas forge, how should the nozzle be setup (what angle to the forge)? Or is that important?
this is great practical info we can use that pro's can forget to talk about. keep it coming Roy!!!
I plan on keeping them coming 🙂 thank you for watching!
Great demonstration! Helped me a lot.
Thank you and I am glad it helped you 😊
Great video. It was super helpful. Thanking you
Awesome. Thanks for this. Definitely helped me understand my forge. 👍
OMG thanks man! I think you just saved me some serious money on gas and helped up my fun factor in smithing!
Just what I needed to see. Thanks!
Another great video Roy! Easy to understand, now to put it to use.
Good demonstration, thank you.
Awesome info! I havent seen anyone discuss this topic in this detail.
Can't wait to see the new regulator you choose. I need a really good one that will set me up for a long time.
VERY helpful information here. Trying to learn the gas Forge... B4 my regulator got dropped n quit working.
Thank you Sir n gif bless
Crawford out 🙏🔥⚒️🧙🏼♂️
Just got a decent one in At the end of last week so stay tuned 🙂 And thank you for watching Mr Crawford Sir 👍👍😎
Thank you.. new to the hobby.. going to attempt to forge weld this weekend..
Great explanation grizzly Adams 😜 How you all are doing well.
Roar! 😆
Hey Roy, this is fantastic. Can you do another where you tune it up for forge welding? Show us gas pressure and air aperture, the whole 9?
Thanks for breaking this down. What size nozzle are you using in this forge video and do you know where do get replacements? Thanks!
Hi Roy great video as always
Thank you Dana ❤️
Awesome!!!! Thanks so much Roy!!!!! Great explanation!!!
Thank you for this lesson!😊
Awesome to know this now.. I definitely will be doing some experiments and testing on my forge.. maybe I can get a good forge weld now, cause that's the only thing so far I have trouble with and I've tried messing around but understanding what's a rich flame or neutral flame I should be able to dail it in lol 😆
Thanks Roy. Great advice. I might be able able to keeps some of the fur regrowth on my forearms now.
Thank you , I learn something today.
This is a very interesting video Roy. Thank you for all the information
Thanks for the video, just set up my forge and this helped a lot!
My lil hero arrives on the Lord's day. Thank you for showing us plainly how to dial this lil sucker in. Cheers
Very helpful! I’m new to forging myself and have this same setup. I’ve been running the air choke full open lately thinking that was optional to get a blue flame out of the burner as I was told that was the most important. If I choke up my flame at the burner gets more yellow. I have not until now even thought the amount of flame coming out the front matter’s at all.
I have also been concerned with being too rich as I was told this produces CO gas and that was a concern. I have CO2 detectors in the shop but nothing for CO.
If CO buildup is even remotely a concern you probably want to install detectors and improve your ventilation you want to design your setup so that it is almost impossible for someone to intentionally create a CO buildup without deliberately sabotaging your ventilation system, and you want to be able to know if your ventilation system isn't functioning properly before it becomes dangerous.
Thanks for the excellent explanation and demo, this was the best visualization I've seen on the topic!
that is te best richness regulator I have seen
Thanks!
