[TheForge] Gas Forge Plans

[Grover Richardson]

I get air conditioning duct, cut it, bend the raw cut edges over the edge of
my metal table to fold them inside so I don't get cut.  Pre-drill some holes
around the edge, and use sheet metal screws to hold it together.  When
drilling, I find that a bungee cord holding the beast round while also
holding the kaowool inside is a blessing.  My forges are blade type forges
about 12" od.
