[TheForge] Ideas...?

[Ben Barrett]

Depending on the style desired, you could use found objects in it.
Bicycle frames are 2 sturdy triangles each, and/or long pieces from
old farm equipment could be used for the diagonal (sickle mower arm
would be cool).
Or, if you have a long forge, big hoops overlapped always struck me as
a quick construction.
