nozzles plumbed up by the diagram that Hago puts out on their nozzles, air in the back oil in the side, propane is and open flow into the body of the burner same feeding any vaporized gas into a 500,000,000 BTU Hauck burner, my guess is if it works for them it'll work for me.

I wouldn't trade my bench for anything else, just takes a lot of work out of it. and with a screwed up back its worth it to not have to bend over with 70 80 pounds of sand in the flask trying to set it down.

If it works that all that counts, pretty much if you can make that 3K*F the world becomes your oyster in terms of what you can do.

I don't know about the 3k*F I haven't melted texcast 30 refractory out of it yet, I did have to dig out a 1.5 inches of the wall last summer that was 2600 insulating refractory cause a big part in front of the burner slumped into the floor.

The syphon nozzles are designed for the air to flow around the tip which causes it to spin as it exits out the orfice which causes a low pressure area at the center port. but I guess that's all moot since I gravity feed my oil at 120 * F so it runs like water plus the air from the Thomas air pump (had to pull it apart and fix one of the reed valves screw came loose, banged up the piston head) biggest thing with burning oil as you know is having enough air for the oil.

Anyway glad to see you back.

Heres a video of the project that I've been working on for the last 4 months

yesterday was just a function check, to see what needs addressing before color is applied to the breach and barrel, now if I could just get the damn grain in the walnut to fill up with tung oil and smooth out it may just start to look like something.

theres no sights on the rifle to sight it in with, and no I haven't worked on the ejector yet, it needs a little spot of weld added to where it engages the breach block so that it will move more. problem is that I don't have a tig to do the tiny spot weld that needs to be about an eight inch in diameter and about half that thick.

No if I could just get another machining job for someone that needs outrigger pins for a backhoe I'd have enough money to buy the damn front sight that keep eluding me.

Dave it will take a LOT of tung oil to fill the grain. Its not really the product for it. Have you thought about applying a regular finish such as a wipe on polyester. You could do this and then sand it back a little. It would certainly take less time….

Otherwise, looks good!

got the ejector fixed so that it pulls the cases back out of the chamber like it should. only thing left that I know of is the half cock notch in the hammer still needs some attention so that it will hold.

Also ordered the missing front sight today.

Mike, I still have to learn how to do the checkering so that it will stop sliding around in my hands. But yes its looking pretty good, will look better when the metal is colored.
