Jack,

The video I'm working on now is about building forges and burners. There seems to be a lot of confusion about that among the new makers so I figured I'd start there since most guys need a forge for heat treating (at least). In the video so far I have built a forge body and burner for under $100 with all new parts including regulator, in under 2 hours (once the parts are gathered) - and that's with a forced air burner, it can be cheaper and faster with a simple venturi burner. The forced air version exceeded 2000F in about 10 minutes from a cold start. This forge is big enough to handle at least an 8" blade. The video should be ready in another week or so ....
