Really cool idea man, Ive never really heard of a chip forge, but is a really interesting concept. The noise from the burner is because you have too much back pressure from the holes getting covered up, and the flame will want to jump back inside of the burner itself. I have that issue when I cover too much of my furnace exhaust up or when the propane runs low/out in the forge and the flame wants to jump back into the burner on me, so I usually just turn the gas pressure up and that usually fixes it. For your burner, you may just need to turn the air or gas supply up to shove the flames back out of the burner and back where you want it.
A good source of chips is aluminum oxide abrasives, they come in a variety of shapes, 1" balls, 1" cones, truncated cones, etc., very inexpensive, They dont melt until they reach 3,750° F
Cant wait til the next one. The noise maybe the tank getting cold. Did you ever try having the ribbon burner on its side instead of underneath. You should get the same heat but not as much of the clogging.
Cool video man that was a good idea with the fire brick its like coal that never burns out

Thank you! I might have to do some modifying to the blower and find something with more air pressure

Thank you, that's good to know!
If you have a friend building or repairing silicon carbide furnaces, grab their broken heater rod and crush them for your chips.

I did, but it really limits how big of a workpiece you can put in the forge. I might experiment with it more but I like how well it works as is
@@hiddenworldforge374 Gotcha, just a thought.
Does the blower always need to be on?
Yes
