This is encouraging! I've read about these little forges before but never talked to someone who actually made one.
I have propane, mapp, and oxy-acetylene. I quit using the oxy-acetylene for cutting and welding a few years ago when I got a heli-arc welder and a plasma cutter. It might be the best to use with the right burner. I already have a pile of fire bricks.
I would love to see some pictures and hear more and I think others might too. Probably the Metalworking forum would be a good place for this, although woodturners and others who make tools could be interested. Thank you!
