First, I would like to thank everybody on this forum for the help you guys provided. I asked a couple of questions, but for the most part I scoured ya'lls designs and information that was already here. It took a few months to gather all the materials and tools (I now own pretty much everything that I need to operate a small metalworking/blacksmithing shop) and there were definitely some stumbling blocks along the way, but I am now proud to say that I did it. So, I present to you: My first forge

That looks realy cool and I agree the guys here are awesome.
Good luck to ya

Its kinda funny, it looks just like my Brinkman smoker. haven't used it much lately the forge idea may have its smoker days numbered?

Looks like your off to a great start, that thing is sweet!

Excellent craftsmanship. I'm a bit jealous!!
