Gas Burners
for Forges, Furnaces, & Kilns is a do-it-yourselfers dream book,
showing beginners how to make highly efficient gas burners inexpensively.
These burners use simple gas accelerators as their central operating
principle. All that is needed is a $2 MIG tip and some plumbing
parts. This eliminates the need for a blower to supply combustion
air, allowing the burners to be built in any size. Burners are featured,
which are small enough to be used for a jewelry torch or large enough
to heat any ceramic kiln. Because these burners are both powerful
and portable, they can be combined with low cost space age insulating
materials and common containers to build light compact heating equipment.
Also described is a blacksmith's forge that can be carried anywhere
and stored under a workbench; a portable metal melting furnace;
a portable farrier's forge; a portable glass furnace/glory hole;
and a mobile hot-work station that aids in combining several crafts.
The burners and equipment provide an inexpensive way to get started
in blacksmithing, foundry work, ceramics, or glasswork. General
information and specific designs are given, enabling the craftsperson
to build equipment tailored to their own desires.
