    I noticed you have an open bottle of beer on the bench when you were mixing the refractory mix you should not have alcohol in the work shop with out a cooler or the beer could get hot and I didn’t see any empty’s and mixing refractory is at least a two beer job so make sure you get on top of that next time

      I agree. Safety first. The shop is no place for hot beer.

    For everyone continuing to ask. Yes I know “you can just melt the crayons out” I have done it that way before. I prefer drilling because I find it to be faster and makes less of a mess. Do whichever works for you.

      Your drilling out the crayon and saying what drill bit size you used saved my burner build. Thank you. I made one using straws and the holes were too small. I drilled them out and the flame stayed stable when I closed the glass furnace doors.

    • @OldHickoryForge
      @OldHickoryForge  4 роки тому +3

      solvarr yeah I tried once with straws that were 1/4 inch instead of 5/16 and the burner didn’t want to run right. There’s some formula about total area of the holes vs the area of the inlet pipe but I’ve never went by it. 5/16 holes have always worked fine so I’ve never strayed from it

    @KevinSmith-gh5ze 5 років тому +33

    Good idea to get an extra box of snacks. I'm about 136 percent sure the first box wouldn't last long enough to actually make the burner. Also, instead of drilling out the crayola fries, you can melt them out onto your favorite MRE. 🖍😋

      You will love this one Mat, my wife is a Navy CTM2 Vet and I am a Marine AMH2 (to use your vernacular). We went to high school together before our time in the service. To this day, 40 plus years later she tells me I cannot count past one. I attempted to get even. When we were married I had the vows changed to say to place the ring on her third finger. I said that I cannot do that. When he asked my why I said "because I cannot count that high". My smart little sailor said "no problem, and counted her fingers, one, one, one". She has always had a quick wit.

      During my Army aviation days I took a hit and somehow ended up in a naval high trauma hospital, I was the only soldier there and my roommate was a marine. When he wasn't eating Crayons and abusing his meds he would play a mouth turkey call day and night. I was able to avoid PTSD, but that Marine was a PITA. PS< in all seriousness, appreciate you making this video.

  • @jamesball7322

    I peel the crayons before I set them in the mold and the only other thing I do differently is I melt the crayons out in the first of three heat cycles
    Well and I use thinner side wall 3” pipe ,oh and I just drill the holes directly on top of the tube before I weld the 2” nipple to it (no bent plate to weld in doing it like that)

    Fast food drinking straws work really well too and they pull out nice and easy with a pair of needle nose pliers, leaving a glass smooth tunnel through the Mizzou castable. Also, I put mine on top of the wood stove for about 7 or 8 days which means they went through dozens of say, 200 to 500+ degree heat cycles before I actually fired them. Good simple video. Thanks for posting- this info was a lot harder to find 2 years ago!

And propane is fairly cheap and easy to get I’m going to make a ribbon burner like how you made yours. I’m going with one that will be more durable and last longer. And I forge a lot so it will save money fast enough in fuel savings and electricity isn’t an issue. I like to make hammers and Damascus so it’s worth it for me. Thanks for the great video!

    really good video man! is there any formula or ratio that we need to know before making this? also can you add this on a venturi burner ?

    Great video thanks mate! I have Satanite as a refractory; could you see any issues using this and perhaps mixing with kitty litter to make a slurry?
