Post connecting the blower

well i recently bought this buffallo forge blower off ebay for $70 and greased it up..Works great...

I need to attach it to my forge now...it came with no stand or even a spot for a stand ... only a handel...so i was thinkin to take 2 pieces of quarter inch round and connect it to the top and bottom of the blower an weld or bolt the other side to the forge....

i will include a pic of the forge( unfinished pic for better view) and a pic of the blower....

Being as i just got into a house in calafornia ALL my forging stuff is stuck in canada till we can get it down and because i am only 13 i really have no control over the borde to let us bring it down..... i have abour 200 pounds of rr spikes and 30 pounds rebar so i am thinkin of buyin a cheap bbq nd makin a quick forge....
Only problen will be an anvil! ill look fer one but ther than that ill be stuck with a thick chunk of steel that i found in between where the 2 tracks split( U know the 1 inch thick by 4 inch wide by 2 feet long piece where the track switches) Or a track plate

Hope to get smithin asap.

Thanks,
Sabre
