[TheForge] On the table monday.

[Kathy]

Frosty,
I know this is going to sound strange coming from me, but I was thinking about
promoting a discussion of GUN BURNERS.

Oh sure, I know, we didn't really believe that the devious Dr. Frankenburner
meant all those comments about no one shoe fits all; he was really just
schmoozing, right? Wrong; I'm a perfectly ruthless person about tool designs;
even my own. There are good reasons to keep fan blown forge designs around, and
I have every intention of exploring them this year. Especially as I've figured a
way around my primary objection to them-dragon's breath. With movable exterior
baffles in place of small direct exhaust openings, the hot gases can be
effectively directed away from the operator, opening up natural gas burners to
people, like myself, who don't believe in the nobility of suffering for art's
sake. Using such burners would also make the standard low priced safety
equipment practical for installation on forges, etc. They won't work with my
burners (flame speed is too high; it snuffs out pilot lights).

So, if anyone is interested in this conversation, I have no contract restraints
to muzzle my comments on the subject.

Gee, thanks Mikey!

Sounds like the way I filled in the thin spots in the 
last Newsletter.

Besides, I don't have a lot more to say about burners 
untill I have a place to work on and experiment with 
them.

Of course I'll be more than happy to read any such 
threads you generate. The longer the better!
