[TheForge] Forge rails

[Jerry Frost]

My experience with Wisper forges is pretty limited to other folk's. In those 
cases the forges were sitting on a table-like surface. If you have your 
forge on a table I'd make a small stand with a top at the level of the door 
bottom. something really simple fits my ideal in most cases so something 
that has a pair of upside down "T"s for legs andfeet and a single "at level" 
cross bar connecting them. A simple "A" frame with a cross bar would work 
too. I dont think it'd matter much what shape or form it is so long as it 
won't be damaged by the dragon's breath.

If on the other hand you have your forge on a dedicated stand, say like legs 
with a simple frame then welding sq tubing under the forge with telescoping 
sq. tubing and an "at level" cross bar wil work nicely. This is what I have 
on my propane forge as a combination stock and tong rack.
