[TheForge] gas forge

[Dan Scheid]

NC makes a very good forge. I Like the valley magnum more because the fire
box is just a bit bigger. You can throw in two draft shoes it get just as
hot as the NC forges and close to the same $$. If you have the time. You can
build a big forge 6x10x however deep you wish. From a hot water heater and
make your own burners for about 1/2 the $ of a bought forge. If you want to
see this forge there at my site
