Good afternoon, Larry
If I hurt your feelings you have my apology, but not my regret since it gives
us an opportunity to talk. In answer your questions:
(1) What's wrong with the modified sidearm burner?
I did mention that your modified version was better performing than the
standard model, and that most burners perform better inside the forge than in
open air. Within the framework of your viewpoint--a perfectly legitimate
one--nothing is wrong with it, or with the Riel burner either. They will do the job
and are easily built.
The question was once put to a member of Hobbicast as to which he would
rather be doing; building fancy equipment or casting. It was a good question, and
it makes a nice lesson--even for some, like me, who would give the unexpected
answer. The equipment itself is my passion.
(2) "Are you trying to get people to buy your book..."
Authors make about a dime for every dollar a book costs. This book culminates
four years research, and took more than two years to write. If it sells
unusually well for the next twenty years I will have made Mcwages out of it. Either
it's an honest book, written from my love of good tooling, or I'm the dumbest
con man to come down the road in some time :-)

PS If things get tough, I can always buy an old romance comic book and
rewrite the story line into a novel. Now there's a logical plan for making fast
money!
