Close, but no cigar.  I know there are some oil forges out there, both home 
made and manufactured.  I'm looking for design/configuration data on a 
forge.  I'm up to speed ... I think ... on oil burners.

Anyone know The Kiwi Blacksmith, Andrew Hooper?  He built on a while back 
and I'd like to get in touch with him about his forge.
