Default Shop Forge Construction

Hi folks, After speaking with Glenn and the boys in chat last night, I had a few questions and everyone was kind enough to answer them for me. I started on my new shop forge today. I currently use a two burner gas job and decided to build me a bigger coal forge to do some big stuff. Anyway, here is progress for today. Let me know what you think. Don't worry, I'm not thin skinned, I can take the bad with the good. I still need to fabricate the sides where the coal lays and build a hood of some type. I used a disc brake drum off of a six lug chevy pickup for thr firepot.

Thanks again for your advise here folks. You people are a great bunch.

PS: The beverage in the one photo is in there for scale. It was good though on this hot day in PA.
