It's funny that i stumble across this video after starting to look into getting a high pressure. Like you said, the low psi grill reg. wasn't cutting it. I ended up making my own using an old air compressor pressure regulator rail and the difference was astounding but it leaked gas like crazy. I'm buying one tomorrow for sure.

Years ago I thought about building a small forge. I did what I thought was a fair amount of web research. I don't recall ever seeing this bit. I'm looking at vids tonight and planning on hitting the supply house tomorrow. So glad I saw this vid before spending the money and wasting time on the wrong deal. Thank you.
Yup made that mistake when I first built mine, thought I was using a high pressure regulator and took me forever to figure I was using the wrong regulator
That's something not everyone talk about, but is vital for the forge! I learned myself building my dual burner forge, after put the high pression regulator it was like dragon breath
Holy gravy. Thank you. I built a forge and did not realize the difference between these regulators. Felt like an idiot, but now I feel smert. Thanks. ;)
Did the same mistake, orderd a Small forge burner from Russia (live in Sweden). Totally new to using gas/new experience. Hooked it up and got so disapointed/thought that i had been ripped off. Then I did some research and luckly it was an easy fix
In advance thank you brother. I have a crappy harbor freight propane line on my shopping list. Now I know why I haven't been guided to make one just yet. I have to say you are a great motivator. Keep doing what you are doing.

I agree the high pressure regulator is recommended to have but it will also work without a regulator. You can adjust the flow with the valve on the propane tank but as the pressure in the tank decreases you have to fiddle with the flow rate. The regulator holds the flow At a more constant rate.
With high pressure gass and oxygen together, u can get to heats extreme enough to cut steel. Dial it down to low, and u got perfect temps to melt aluminium within a couple mins, or if putting the torch on it directly, within seconds. Generally you don't want it too hot though, cos u wanna melt the stuff in the crucible without destroying the forge with heats too extreme. Be careful with high pressure oxy gas burners.
Hey Ezra, have you ever considered a four burner where each one is 90 degrees around the furnace and cover all sides of the crucible equally? Overkill or advantageous? Paul
Great video, thanks for the guidance. I am about to make my own propane burner and while researching I found someone using a low pressure regulator but they had attached an electric air blower to it to create more pressure. I've not had the experience of either method yet but the forced air burner looked pretty awesome. Do you have any experience of a forced air burner? A 13kg propane refill in the UK is £40 and a high pressure regulator will eat that in a day, thanks again.
I have a 20 psi reg, decent blue jet but not like yours ...does the depth of the welding tip matter much ? I've got the same sections of pipe as you built and the orifice is midway and centered between the air intakes
I have a 40psi regulator and the depth matters because of fuel air mixture! Hope ya subscribed! Thanks for watching and Keep on Piddling #americanpiddler
Would it be possible to make a video on how to ajust high pressure regulator. I have one and it keeps on shutting off after a few second on. I'm all new to this and loving it. Keep up the good work.

Damn. Thanks man. I've been having so much trouble trying to figure out which regulator to buy. It's like a weird internet search engine blind spot. That link's dead (no big deal, it's 5 years later) but I just ordered something similar off ebay. o7
My regulator goes up to 30 psi but it back feeds I need help soon please. It drops down to zero once I turn the nozzle open to go down the torch. Idk if I should buy a new regulator or valve that feeds it slower but idk if that’d defeat the purpose of the the regulator or if it’s some other problem I’m not thinking of.

I made a propane forge burner without a regulator, it works good until it gets hot, then it starts to sputter alot. Will a hp regulator fix that and why?
Just received my high pressure regulator from Amazon. I have the forge assembled and the burner is almost done. One thing I learned while sourcing the parts is that not all quarter inch ball valves are suited to use with gas. I ended up going to four different shops before finding someone with a pair of them in stock. Mine are Vermont American products. The manufacturer specifically states they are safe to use with propane. Maybe you should include this kind of information in an assembly video. I was warned by someone who knows more about gas lines than I do that using a ball valve not designed for propane is potentially very dangerous. His exact words were, "You are taking your life in your hands if you do."
@@StutleyConstable Switch those valves immediately to brass needle valves and you will be amazed at the improvements to your control, performance, and efficiency.
Just a random question, and most likely a dangerous one but why is a regulator needed? can you just go straight to the bottle nipple and only have the tank open a little?
Absolutely not too dangerous to try on this channel... as the unit becomes heat soaked and if there was a hiccup in the line it could back flash the line and boom you've just made the evening news... PLEASE SO NOT TRY THIS!

I know this video is old, but I bought a single burner forge a while back and it isn’t able to get my steel to a good forging heat. I have to bash it as hard as I can for hours with minimal result. I was wondering would my forge get hot enough if I bought a high pressure regulator and used it instead of the stock regulator it came with?
Hi, I have a propane forge (double burner) I built and I have a high pressure regulator. My forger will be going strong and then I will lose pressure and the flame will look like the one coming from the low pressure regulator in your video? Any idea whats wrong?? Help much apprieciated. Thank you.
Are you running it off a 20lb propane tank? If so they have an internal regulator that will shut it off if too much is flowing out to prevent a huge leak it's a built in safety valve that you could be triggering because of the amount of flow.... hope this helps btw thanks for watching and Keep on Piddling!
I got my regulator but it still doesn’t act right to me I’m attempting to build a small knife forge out of a 5 gal propane tank but instead of running it sideways I put the burner through the top could that be a problem or am I just being overly careful

@@AmericanPiddler I believe that the most cost efficient burner would be the right burner, and ribbon burners are more efficient the torch burners like yours. Up to 400% more efficient fyi
Glad to hear can you share a link to your build? Cause I would love to see it and also would love to create an episode building one then do a side by side comparison!
I know this video is old, but I bought a single burner forge a while back and it isn’t able to get my steel to a good forging heat. I have to bash it as hard as I can for hours with minimal result. I was wondering would my forge get hot enough if I bought a high pressure regulator and used it instead of the stock regulator it came with?
Not familiar with what you have sorry... Thanks for watching & keep on piddling #americanpiddler
Hi, I have a propane forge (double burner) I built and I have a high pressure regulator. My forger will be going strong and then I will lose pressure and the flame will look like the one coming from the low pressure regulator in your video? Any idea whats wrong?? Help much apprieciated. Thank you.
Are you running it off a 20lb propane tank? If so they have an internal regulator that will shut it off if too much is flowing out to prevent a huge leak it's a built in safety valve that you could be triggering because of the amount of flow.... hope this helps btw thanks for watching and Keep on Piddling!
Now your cooking with gas! LOL

Lahiru Sooriyaarachchi that's great, thanks for Watching don't forget to subscribe and share! Oh and smash that like button!
I got my regulator but it still doesn’t act right to me I’m attempting to build a small knife forge out of a 5 gal propane tank but instead of running it sideways I put the burner through the top could that be a problem or am I just being overly careful
Trent send me pictures of your build on Facebook or Instagram and I'll try and give ya a hand thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!
