2 Burner Atmospheric Metal Artist Forge with FISHER 0-30PSI Regulator! This unit is ready to use, right out of the box, all you need is a propane source! OK, I just lowered it far as I can possibly go, but I can't compete with cheap, Chinese import garbage, period. As I don't have a work force of essentially 3 billion slaves, and the Iron Fist of a communist regime to enforce the States "work ethic", this becomes my bottom line. You get what you pay for, but I'm not going to work 16 hours a day, use crap material, cut every corner possible and try to scrape by moving inferior products in large volume. I also don't have any plans on selling these to distributors, as I don't like the idea of someone else having their hand in the till. I try to offer the highest quality tools direct to the end user at the lowest possible prices, but I guess pretty soon, we'll all be able to go to Wal-Mart and buy our Chinese Gas Forges... One question does beg to be asked... One seller claims that... "These units are made overseas to exacting specifications and with top quality materials" But then goes on to say ... "Due to the fact that I do not know what factory made these, or how to contact the manufacturer , t is NO WARRANTY or PARTS AVAILABILITY"How does he know those Chinese forges are made to "exacting specifications" with "top quality materials" , when he has no idea who even built these? Sounds just like a line you'd hear at the used car lot... These are heavy duty, professionally built Forges. These use real refractory material in the walls, door and ceiling, not insulating brick. These units have smooth, precision machined burner bells and orifices. They are designed for a lifetime of easy use. The only Forges in this class are the Forgemasters and NC Tool units, which run from $620 to $700, making these an excellent bargain. From my personal experience with the Forgemaster and NC Tool units, these Diamondback Ironworks Models get even hotter and are much easier and cheaper to maintain. The Metal Artist Model is designed for the Artist, Sculptor or Armorer who works a wide variety of odd shaped materials. The advantage of having 3 open sides allows virtually unrestricted access to the firebox, and will allow areas to be heated other Forges couldn't even think of touching. This is just another innovative design by Diamondback Ironworks, stay tuned, t are more new units in the testing and development phase, I just tested a single burner which brought a piece of 1/2" square to welding heat in 4 minutes at 12 PSI , with one end completely open (I haven't added 2 doors yet...)! T's some exciting stuff in the works, if I don't get run out of business first by cheap, garbage imports forges... Exterior dimensions are 12 1/4"l x 9 1/4"w x 6 1/2"h Interior dimensions are 12 1/4"l x 7"d x 3 1/4"h Burner bells and gas orifices are precision machined for smooth airflow, eliminating the turbulence created by exposed threading found on other burners. Replaceable burner flares are 304L Stainless Steel. Forge is insulated with 2" 8lb density Ceramic Fiber (1" in front door) and coated with Colloidal Silica to harden, no ITC coatings are used in these forges, which eliminates all the chipping and peeling which ALWAYS occurs with the ITC coatings, so you can spend your time forging and not repairing your insulation. The floors are common 1 1/4" x 4" x 9" Ceramic firebrick splits you can purchase locally anyw that sells building supplies. The reason for using this firebrick is it's cost (usually under $2.00 per brick) and ease of replacement. If you have done any forge welding, you know how the flux will destroy the floor of a forge, well with this forge a brand new floor can be installed in minutes and for less than $6.00, instead of $50+ which other manufacturers charge for replacement floors. The front opening was just redesigned, making floor replacement nearly effortless. These Forges reach will reach welding temperature and are easily adjustable by si... read more
