A friend of mine has a forge fired by propane that is made from a mini-keg (Heineken beer), with the use of Kaowool. We should be able to get temps of up to 2000 degrees F, but because of the altitude here (7000 ft), we are having trouble getting the temps we need . The whole thing is only about 16 inches long, and 9 or 10 in diameter, and really portable. Let me know if you want to check this out. I can get you in touch with the guy that made it. I will include pics, if I can ever figure out how to do it.

I was lucky enough to have a friend turn me on to the no weld grinder.

This is excellent work !! Especially for the first attempt. The only thing I would like to make a comment on is that you include some photos of the work in progress. I would like to see some of your methods. I use chainsaw bars to make my Bowie knives and am always looking for ways to improve. (I should talk - haven't taken any of my work, either).
