Pete, (and all the rest ;))

It's not so much timidity on my part, as when I've looked for parts, 
I've had lacking luck in finding them.  This is attributable to multiple 
causes:  My lack of time,  clueless sales people at Lowes, bad luck, etc.

But mainly, my reasons for asking is this:  I know that you guys have 
been down this road already, and that there's huge amounts of very 
useful information in your heads. ;)

And yes, I do have a certain desire to not blow up myself/my 
belongings/much of anything at all.

Coal, I've done a good amount.  Coal is easy. ;)  Gas, I haven't really 
worked with much.  I have had a little experience with the actual use of 
a coal forge (Thanks Steve!), but not one of my own.

Yeah, it is a pretty simple operation:  Torch jet, refractory box, and 
the relevent fastening.

But all in all, I appreciate all the advice.  I know it's not a 
complicated thing to do, per se.  But from the perspective of not having 
done it before, there's a lack of experience that would prove useful. :)

So thanks for all the advice,
I'll put it to good use.
