1. What should I search for on ebay to find the hand blower
a. would a small hairdryer with a dimmer switch be fine?

2. I need some clarification on how to mix the adobe.
1 part construction sand
1 part wood ash (can I use the ash from charcoal birquets?)
1 part some sort of clay (maybe kitty litter, or some sort of potters clay?) mixed with water to make it like pankake batter
a few good handfuls of grass clippings from the yard

are the proportions about right or are they off.

3. Okay for the tyure it looks like the black plumbing pipe is the thing to use, but I have heard something about using a movable stopper in the tube to change the amount of the tyure in use


any idea's. I am thinking about drafting this out with measurments and building this thing using delta cad,
printing out the measured drawings and then scanning them in to be posted on this forum for the mass consumption of others. I am an obsessive planner before I actually do. With something that has the potential of putting me in the burn unit at Duke Medical I want to make sure that I have my bases covered, this IS not a thing to be taken lightly. I was very badly burned as a child, and I wish to never again have to endure the agony of having a burn debraded. Red hot metal, and a defective forge could do just that to me.

This is the appropriate group to make a safe experience out of this fantastic subject
