Train Museum Home Made Forge

OK, I plan on making this. When you guys talk about defussers and pin holes, lining up flame? Is there any diagrams out there describing the torches? I want to get this right the first time.
Thank you for your help!!

I've built a couple, they get used for melting aluminum, forging steel, and most recently boiling long strips of wood to bend into snow-shoes.
See the simple "Oliver up-wind" design here:

look near the bottom of that page for a simple sketch.

Actually that entire site is a great read: http://backyardmetalcasting.com/

This is great stuff. Oliver's burner with diagrams will be very helpful. Thanks to all! You guys are the greatest.
