[TheForge] Gas Forge Recommendation

[Chris Kilpatrick]

I remember the great fear and trepidation I had in making my first propane burner.  At that time folks were arguing about flame arrestors, I made mine without, and prayed.  Now, I am on my 4th burner and 4th propane forge.  It's about like doing plumbing and about as exciting, now.

It is I who formed the blacksmith, 
who fans the flame into a fire and
fashions a weapon fit for it's work.
