We have beat this one to death, but one more swing with a club.

If the forge is going to sit outside - rain and moisture all the time, clay
may not be the best thing.  The coal runoff will be sulfuric acid and may
well eat up your forge.

I put straps on my old forge to hold it together.  The expansion sheared
the 1/4/20 bolts.  I ended up getting some nickel rod and welded up the
crack.

Good luck!
