[TheForge] Fw: Forge design

[Jerry Frost]

A weedburner or two will work just fine, especially if the work is 
surrounded by an insulating refractory. I'd make a wire or screen frame and 
hang Kaowool or other ceramic wool refractory from it. With a wire or screen 
frame the Kaowool can be shaped to suit the piece as it's form changes. The 
Kaowool etc. shell and frame would also be light enough to be easily handled 
so it'd be a simple matter to lift the "forge" off the piece being heated 
for ease and speed.
