I just left the office but tomorrow I will post what I'm looking for and see if you or anyone can give me a lead. I didn't know Chris just happened to see this post and thought hey that's interesting I wonder if he ever got the opportunity to build one while deployed. it's tragic and sad to read about him so many years later and hear of his passing after all that he went through. but it is nice to read that he did become a skilled blacksmith.

I stumbled upon this thread looking for some refractory bricks for a US DoD Foreign Military Sales request and wondered what ever happened with Christopher's Forge in Afghanistan. Sadly, he passed away in an automobile accident in 2019 after serving and receiving two purple hearts. RIP Sir. Obituary of Christopher N. Arquitt | Austin & Barnes Funeral Home &...
