Mikey,
I apologize for my comment about you trying to get people to buy your book.
I get a little up tight  when people start talking  the Modified Side Arm
burner design.  I have been answering e-mails and phone calls for about 2
years with people that are building the burners and they say that they do
not run right only to find out they decided to make a couple of
modifications on there own that do not work.  They try using standard 1
1/4" tees with a bushing instead of the reducing tee, they use a 1 1/2" x
3/4" x 1 1/2" reducing tee that doesn't have the nice taper to it, it looks
more like a elbow with a branch,  the contact tip is full of Teflon tape or
pipe dope or some times metal shavings, or they use an old POL they got off
of an old gas grill that has orifice in it instead of a full flow POL, and
they made a burner flare out of a pipe coupling. =20

BTW. I wish you would send me a copy of the chapter that you sent Philp, I
would like to read it.

I have to ask the publisher for permission to do so. But, I will try.
Actually you will find yourself mentioned in the book. Here I refer not to=20
your place in the sources list, but to the following lines from the Jeweler'=

Furnace section:

debut on the Net=20
about five years ago. The miniature forges began as toys although they were=20
useful for heat treating hand tools. At first they used propane or MAPP gas=20
plumbing torches, and then smaller practical burners were designed. At about=

It was your Bean Can Forge that inspired this paragraph. There you are Larry=

You have been immortalized (incognito unfortunately). I wonder if it's too=20
late to change that line to "Bean can forges and then coffee can furnaces?"
