[TheForge] Sidearm Burner Parts - ceramic nozzle

Sat Jan 18 16:16:00 2003

I cheated.  I bought a $20 propane weed burner from harbor freight, unscrewed their tip and screwed in a mig tip, then forged flairs on either end of my 3/4" pipe did some cutting on the weed burner and welded the kit and kaboodle.  the weed burner came with the hose and vavling I needed.

who fans the flame into a fire and
fashions a weapon fit for it's work.
