I continue my search for an anvil and found these ones: http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-440350342-bigornia-o-yunque-con-cepo-de-80-kg-yunke-_JM http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-437173197-bigornia-o-yunque-sin-cepo-yunke-_JM They look nice and seem like cast steel but can't be sure. Any help is appreciated.

I really like your design better than mine, so I'm stealing it :P. Thanks tim. About the exposed firebrick, I'm planning on using something akin to satanite to make a 1 inch layer of hard refractory. It will take some more time to heat up but I've rather have to wait and have the forge stay well. Thanks for the input.

Hello everyone, I'm in the design stage of my new soft firebrick forge. Just wanted to share the design and ask for suggestions. Some considerations: The firebrick will not be exposed to the flame, I plan to cover it with refractory mortar. There will only be one burner located on top. I plan to user a blower. The whole structure will be encased in a metal shell. I'm a complete newbie so I was looking for a design that allows me to do some tool crafting (tongs, hammers, chisels, etc) while still be useful for heat treatment and knife forging. Right now it is based in this: , only with a bigger burning chamber. What do you think?
