Thank you for the advice. I plan on upgrading it once I get more involved. The suggestions help! As far as bricks does anyone know where I can purchase them around the Springfield, Mo area? A friend gave me the K26 bricks I have now used from his kiln. The place he got them went out of business. So I am unable to get more for the floor or replacements unless I find somewhere. I didn't like the bushing reducer but it was all the hardware store in town had and to be honest I was impatient and figured I would change it out once I came across the right bell reducer. The mixing tupe is 3/4" x 8" long. I actually hadn't heard that 6" was better. Every plan I saw used 3/4" x 8". So that's good to know that 6" will be better. I will definitely change that out. Thank you for the advice! Everything helps! I had seen people add the MIG tip to it but was unsure how much it would actually help. For now I just drilled a .040" hole. I was also unsure the correct threading for the MIG tip so this helps. Thank you for the advice! I will definitely be adding it soon.

I am new to this forum. I just finished up building my new propane forge. When I was planning my build I looked all over for ideas of what to do and what not to do. I figured I would post pictures of mine to return the favor and allow people who are looking to get ideas of what they want to do and what they don't want to do. It is 1/4" metal welded together (my first time welding so it's not pretty) with scrap angle iron to hold the bricks in and a scrap square tube up top to hold the torch. The bricks are k-26 bricks except the bottom. They are a harder fire brick. The square tube is welded to the forge. I drilled holes in the 4 sides then welded nuts to it to use as threading for the bolts (seemed easier than threading the tube itself) the bolts hold the torch tight but allow it to be adjusted/removed. Sometime in the future I will weld a bolt to the top of the torch so I can adjust the airflow. There is also a door/opening on both sides covered with a brick in case I forge to longer metal.
