My son just finished a couple more forges for sale, so here is the Atlas Mini Forge. What I hope is the best portable forge you'll ever find. These sold very quickly last time and I actually ran out or parts to build them with.
$240 + $15 shipping flat rate in the US. $100 shipping to Canada via USPS

2" rear opening
9" tool rest
5" heavy channel for the base
Max temp of 2350° F using the new burner
Pre-treated with ITC-100
0-20 PSI adjustable regulator w/ 4' hose and quick connect for 20lb. tanks
304 Stainless steel burner produces approximately 30,000 BTU
600+ BTU per cubic inch, hot enough to forge weld!
Includes forge, adjustable sliding tool rest, 0-20 PSI regulator w/ hose, stainless steel burner

While i have no experience with these,it seems doubtful that it would be effective for tempering. No temp. gauge and difficult to see the piece. Hardening should not be a problem.
 
This forge has the burner angled front to back at the top of the chamber. This makes it very effective at heat treating. As we found at a hammer-in, the top of the forge is right around 400° F while the forge is running. Just put the blade on top of the forge and it will give a good snap temper. STill, I would always use an oven for tempering.
 
That's exactly what I was wondering. Thanks.
I was guessing that it was about 10-12" long considering the width of the base, but it was hard to tell.
 
Yep, 11 3/4" to be precise. It was designed at that length to be able to fit in a USPS large flat rate box. 1/2" bigger and it costs about $30 more to ship it. Everything about the forge is continually updated to try to make it better, more affordable, efficient, etc. The burner intake tube has moved several times, changed angled, etc., just in an effort to make it better. The forges are now coated inside with both 3000° refractory and ITC-100. The burners have changed from mild steel to stainless. The legs have moved off-center to better be able to hold tongs and hammer.
 
I think it's a great idea. Some more refinement, a little product support program, and you might have a nice niche product there!
