    If you really want some heat I once made a diesel air torch, and this was before I had any machine tools..... It would melt aluminium and roared like a rocket..
    Light red, the colour of choice for the discerning man.

    My Forge is mains gas turbo charged with a vacuum cleaner. Once it has warmed up it can get a steel rod to 1200º in about 5 minutes.

    It's a relatively complicated build because I'm using it inside. If it was being used outside it could be simpler.
