My 20 / 20 hindsight   would have me buying  a good gas  forge  back 
20  years ago.  I am not a Ron Reil nor a  furnace man.   For me 
trying to build my own  "working" gas  forge, was a  frustrating waste 
of time.   Best way for  me  would  to be  part of  a blacksmith 
"hammer-in "  kind of event where a demonstrator coaches  a group 
build , so each  participant comes home with  new "home made   "  gas  forge.

Exactly so; it surprises me that more groups don't get together and do that  
very thing. In the first place, the expensive materials can be purchased  for 
less when you buy in bulk. In the second place, the forges can be turned out  
more easily when several people pool their resources. Some groups have done 
just  that, but it's not common.
