    In reverse order, I've never had a brick forge. My first forge is what I'm still using. 

    And in my opinion I'd go with a brake Rotor forge. I did and it worked. There are plans on here for the 55 forge, or you could set in up in a table to hold coal. That is only My opinion from My experience, as it was simple and inexpensive for me. That answer tho can only be answered by you. What do you have to work with? How much Can you spend? Heck you could have a hole in the ground with a pipe running into it to push air. Once you see the complexity and simplicity of what makes a functional forge look at your options. 

    Ok, I've also thought anout the hole in the ground thing but I remembered I live in Missouri (we grow the whole worlds rock supply). I want to start with the brake JUST START. In less than a year I would LOVE to have a brick forge. And so I'm saving up consisdering I'm 13 and have no job or real source of independent income. (I HATE bumming cash off my parents)

  2. Yes, I understand I made it sound like I'm bored right now and I am looking at blacksmithing for a couple month way to entertain myself. It's not trust me, I've been doing research for 6 months now and have gotten my plan together (even though they may be wrong plans). So this being said- 2 questions. What forge design should I gow ith if I didn't use a brake drum? And Were all of our guys first forges brick forges?
