Here I make a propane gas forge out of a large #10 steel can, and homemade refractory lining and a new burner design. See the newer forge build here! • How to build a trashca...
Tip! I built my own version of this exact burner & forge a few days ago. Afterwards when it dried I noticed the lining was getting soft & powdery after firing. I could scratch it off with my finger nail. So I created a hot saturated solution of LYE. I kept it on the stove on low heat (steaming, not boiling). Then used a plastic syringe to drop / coat / saturate the entire inner and outside lining with hot lye solution. It took about 2 hours to do and soaked in nice and deep. It needs to be hot otherwise it doesn't penetrate nice and deep. After I finished I decided to take a mini propane torch and heat a soft section of the lining that was breaking off before. Then when it cooled I touched it and it felt like a ROCK. Was hard as hell. So then I set off the forge with the wet lye all over the lining and THIS WORKS BEAUTIFULLY. First you'll see the steam come out (do not breath it in). Afterwards you can actually see the lye melt and immediately react with the silica in the perlite to make solid water glass. The whole lining changes aesthetically & structurally. You get hundreds of small, white popcorn looking beeds all over the lining but their all the same size and it looks awesome. After I fired it for 15 minutes I came back with a screw driver poking parts of the lining that were soft before and it was all ROCK HARD. I couldn't scratch off or break anything. But here's the coolest part, the forge is getting WAY HOTTER now. Before only the bottom got yellow hot... after I did this the entire liner gets white hot and bright like the sun. My guess is when you seal the liner like this heat is reflected like a mirror ... there's no pores in the liner for heat to dissipate or penetrate through. So the second heat hits the liner its reflected immediately back into the forge which makes it get insanely hot. I'm not exaggerating one bit. Afterwards I stuck a stainless steel spoon in there, held it a few minutes with pliers, pulled it out and the entire top of the spoon was gone! Then I shut the forge off, looked inside and see the steel melted to the bottom of the liner. So naturally I had to connect my MAPP gas. I tried it again and the entire base of the spoon melted too. So I shut the forge off then popped it off with a steel wire and it came out like a little pancake. I have no idea how this thing is melting steel (I'll take pics if anyone wants to see) but I need to try larger amounts in a graphite crucible to see if I can melt and pour larger amounts. I'm also confused as hell about the difference between temperature vs heat energy? I've been reading on forums about this. Anyone knows you can put a thin steel wire in front of a 1000C small propane torch and that steel wire will melt. So when a forge is properly insulated and your pumping hundreds of thousands of BTUs in it.... what's happening? Is it because the metal is more thermally conductive than the silica? So when you're pumping heat into an insulated area... the heat keeps rising and rising then you throw steel in... that steel sinks the "heat energy" which causes the temp to rise then it melts? That's the only thing I can assume is happening. And if I can melt a steel spoon that has to mean I can melt more steel in a crucible.

Im about to make one based on this design, and in the last few weeks Ive learned a bit more. They are probably not made by industry because for a less than a grand you can buy an electronic kiln. For a business that is cheap compared to a law suit based on an improvised piece of kit. (thats my personal opinion btw). The other is that if you used these on an industrial scale, apparently sand/plaster mix whilst great for the hobbyist, has poor refractory values, and after some use it will start to disintegrate and require re-lining again. As far as health goes, Dank Pepto has the right idea: Use this, and in fact do ALL high temperature work, in a well ventilated area. Also, when it comes to doing anything to do with high temps, or grinding/sanding where you create dust, were a simple half-mask respirator (those pink/purple ones you see in all the knife videos). I think they are 3m multigas filters with a built in P99 dust filter).They are basically the civilian version of a CBRN filter. They will bind active organics and filter out particles. Just remember the filters dont last forever. The only big no-no, is watch out for anything chromed, that gets burned. Apparently those fumes are very unhealthy. Burning or super heating chromed metal parts will cause them to develop a yellowish crust and give off fumes. Not good. I read its best to turn off the chrome finish. Not sure they will get hot enough with this design though. Sorry for the wall of text, the short version is: Assume everything to do with welding, sanding and forging is toxic Do it in a well ventilated area Get a cheap half mask with pink filters from amazon Wear eye protection. Good luck chaps.

I would also consider applying a fan of some sort and vents to initiate a vortex inside the chamber. Similar to a fan forced oven. not sure how to describe it in words but can visualize it...there is more fire/heat passing over a given point. I collect all these ideas for nothing, to pass them on I guess to people who can apply them.

"its about the consistency of cake frosting and a similar process" ............ hahaha.... well I would pay you to come round my house and make a forge, but I would be very worried if you were making a wedding cake for my friends. Stay away from the cakes brohiem... stick to forges

Nice videos, and very informative. However I was very disappointed when you didn't show the end result of the sealant. You said 'leave it for a couple of days to cure'..... and then left us hanging on the edge of the cliff. I would really liked to have seen that, and had some commentary on whether after two days it had gone hard. AND whether it remained hard when heat was applied.

Yep, I hear ya, I'm finishing testing on a better forge and will post a full video on it, and the first thing I forged in it. I had no idea this video would get so much attention, it really is kind of crappy haha. Thanks for your interest and patience!

Good information, I'm thinking of building a slightly larger furnace for melting aluminum. Will probably use castable refractory as suggested in Dave Gingery book "Lil' Bertha"

Friend uses thermal wool and porcelain slip instead of perlite/plaster. Kiln cement might work too. He also makes a little curved wall at the bottom where the burner comes in, causes the flame to swirl back on itself and builds the heat. I am curious about the plaster. Been doing lost wax casting for 38 years. Always told us plaster explodes at about 350 degrees F. Lost wax investment is mixed with silica to improve its heat capacity, makes me wonder if investment would be better than the plaster in the long run, being premixed... But don't breathe the powder while mixing it! Silica is bad for the lungs! Friend says he has done short sword lengths in a #10 can. Has also used an old turkey roaster as a base container. Runs a black pipe into the can, covers the pipe with a fire bed made of seed corn and cinder landscape pebbles and sand. Bellows or blower on the other end of the pipe. Whole thing is portable in a 5 gal bucket and you can go anywhere. No coal fumes or smoke, and seed corn is renewable.

This is a nice ,not to big ,set up for doing a few knives. What source of heat are you using if not a blow torch? How would you attach anything bigger to the S/S tube. You should put up more accurate plans for your burners and sell them for a few bucks. I'd buy them just to get exact measurements and from your comments,others are interested too. Great video!

Could this be made with both ends open to heat up longer items at there midpoints?

Yes it could. I would make the opposite end just a slit opening to reduce loss of heat.

You pretty much copied the design NightHawkInLight posted originally, other than you put legs on it instead of support brackets and used a slightly different mix for the lining.

Does anyone know if applying heat to these materials is safe? Seems to work in the video, but are there short/long-term health effects? Same for the technique that +Robert Cece talked about in his comment about coating the inside with a saturated LYE solution.

So I've been thinking of making one of these coffee can forges and have seen a few people say that after about 10 or so uses, the plaster of paris and sand mixture starts to crack. How has yours held up with the addition or pearlite?

Can the public buy the special cement for the forge! I remember watching contractors years back mixing and reforming a small incinerator that I operated! They mixed, poured and let set for a day or two!

You could just buy refractary clay. It's available in Argentina, so I can only assume it can also be found in Brazil as well. A friend used it (along with refreactary bricks) on a similar assembly, just bigger (he used a broken clothes washer's drum, hence the need for a sturdier structure with the refractary bricks as well)
