I have a smaller propane forge, about 30 pounds, that I'm going to build a portable stand for. I plan on taking it to meetings of my local blacksmith group. It'll have detachable legs and I'm consider a 3 legged tripod design with 2 in front and 1 in the rear. I'm thinking that be easier to stabilize on uneven surfaces. ie gravel, dirt, etc.
Any reason not to use a tripod design?
