Thank you all! This has really changed what I had in mind. Especially since everything I envisioned was stationary. I like the idea of a BBQ grill cart. Thanks for the advice.

Hello! I'm from south Arkansas, in the US, and I'm trying to create a basic forge set up. My dad is getting a gas forge for Christmas. My job is to find out what kind of work area he needs and build what I can of it. (My dad also lives in South Ark) He has wanted to do blacksmithing for years. We're hoping to create an area where if he wants to fire it up the day after Christmas, he can. He has a prefab metal shed with an open air"carport" area with a rock bottom. He already has an electric welder there. I'm planning to build on the other side of the shop's carport. A stand for the forge, yes? And a work table and anvil stand? The "Show me your anvil stand" thread was very helpful. I tried to google plans for a gas forge stand, and most of the results were actually on how to build a gas forge. My main question is there any reason I shouldn't build a stand for the forge where the propane will fit in it's own spot under the forge, with wood and metal between? I'm trying to think out considerations for safety more than anything. I was also hoping some of you folks wouldn't mind sharing any plans or ideas.
