[TheForge] Firepot

[Rick Crawford]

Hi guys, etc. -

I have a problem that i am not sure about.  My firepot is all of a sudden
very loose in the forge.  I cleaned it out and looked all around but cannot
find any means of holding it in place.  I am usually pretty good at such
things, but this is an antique, and maybe the holes or whatever have rusted
away and filled in.  I have taken a couple of pictures, and will try to get
them to the photo site before I send this email.

I looked in the Centaur Forge catalog and ti looks like all the modern ones
have a large lip with holes for bolts around the firepot.  Is that what has
burned away on mine?  The lip in the forge itself, under where the firepot
sits is only about a quarter inch wide.

I put the pics in the "forges ..." section of the photo access site.

Anyone with some information regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
