[TheForge] Gas Forge Plans - a question

[Justin Fellenz]

I get all my refractory stuff (inswool, firebrick, mortar, castable,
etc.) from a company called Harbison-Walker. They're in Charlotte and
somewhere in PA. The guy I talked to most was Don Atwell. He knows his
product line extremely well but doesn't know forges per se, so you need
to know what to ask for, which you do. The company's good to work with,
ships promptly, reasonable prices I think. Their number is
704.599.6540.
