Alright I've found where I'm getting my supplies! Thanks everyone!
I am now going to let this topic die.

Wayne,
Maybe we should talk over email. If you don't mind could you send me your reply through email?
Thanks!

Billy, I'm from Lovington, New Mexico so even though I now live in Tennessee you can consider that you are buying local, well sort of.
My brother still lives in Lovington and has one of my forges.  He thought that he was going to get into blacksmithing so I built a forge for him.  Now he would sell it and he is in Lubbock from time to time so he might be able to deliver it to you.  If you are interested I will check with him about the price and when he could bring it over or you could come pick it up.  This is a complete unit with the forge, Z-Burner, hose, stand, and regulator.
 
If that is not what you are interested in I ship supplies all over the country all the time.

Ha ha! This is funny I have already contacted you about how to buy from you (noah.soccer@sbcglobal.net is my email).
I came here to see if it was possible (knowing it probably wasn't) to make a forge relitivaly as good as yours, just from a shop near me.
And if I couldn't I was going to buy from you. Small world! Well, I think I want to make mine, how much would the suplies cost (inswool, kast-o-lite 30, plistix) to make it in a 20 gallon propane tank plus shipping? Thanks man!

Bones.

Howdy again!
Thanks for y'all's replies!
Currently my location is planet earth.  lol just yanking y'all's chains! My location is Lubbock Texas! Land of the wind and dirt home of the energetic texans and has the greatest sunsets!  And if you decide to use that information against me, almost all my friends are police officers and former military! Lol
Does that help?
Do you mind me asking where y'all are, and giving me examples of how y'all get supplies?
Thanks again, you guys are AWESOME!

Bones.

Howdy!
I'm planing on making a forge where I can melt iron, charcoal, sand, and glass to make carbon steel!
I am very fascinated by Wayne Coe's
Inswool
Kast-o-lite
Plistix/ITC-100

Propane forge in a 20 gallon tank.

I would absolutely love to go along those lines for my propane forge, but I want to get everything (if I can) locally at a Home Depot/Lowes or something. But I need do need my forge to reach temperatures of almost 3000 degrees Fahrenheit.

There aren't any refractory supplies near my location and if I can i would rather not buy online.

Thank you!
