[TheForge] forge/foundry

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

Hello to all, and thanks for reading this, and even more thanks to those who can answer this.  I have done some blacksmithing, have a coal forge at the house...and several people I associate with know this.  At a class I am presently taking, a gentleman asked me if its possible, to combine a coal forge and a casting foundry (not sure he or I are using the correct term here).  His son is in Vermont at present, and does a fair bit of blacksmithing.  Dads passion seems to be more into a casting mode.... so he would like to build an apparatus that can be used for both.  Some changing over is to be expected, but as far as operating ranges, and the like, im not sure so I figured I would ask you all, and see what comes of the whole mess.

thank you very much for your time/replies.
