[TheForge] FAQ

[Jerry Frost]

The two really pertinent suggestions have been made but I'll second both.

First, As Bob says, Ron's covered the subject pretty well though there are 
always new things coming down the pike so updating info is good. Also, Ron 
isn't too fond of gun burners (blower driven) so there's room to compile 
info there.

Second, Try to keep it organized as Mike says. If it's disorganized it won't 
do much good and you'll discover what Ron did. Even though he's laid his 
info out pretty clearly, has in depth FAQs, drawings, materials lists, 
supplier lists, etc. etc. he was just plain swamped by people DEMANDING 
help. Mind you, these demanding people hadn't bothered to actually read the 
info, FAQs, etc. but they expected Ron to answer endless questions.

Ron disabled all his old E-dresses around the first of the year when he 
turned his forge and burner site over to ABANA. The only way to get in touch 
now is via long distance phone call.

Not to be discouraging but you should know what you're getting into. Mikey 
can offer some more stories I'm sure. <grin>

AND lastly <grin> Please feel free to use anything I post here or feel free 
to post me on the side.

When I built my propane forge I found a lot of info about burners and
coal forges, etc... but there wasn't really too much on the net about
propane forges. So, to help out some newcomers, I'd like to volunteer to
compile some of the discussions on this list into a "Propane Forge FAQ"
of sorts.

I'll need a little help making sure some of the final details and
sources are right, but I'll be happy to do the majority of the work.

Any suggestions?
