building a forge!

[bwitty]

I am about to get into knifemaking and am seeking different designs for making a small gas forge that won't break my low(and I mean low) budget atm. Any and all help would be appreciated! I would like it to be portable if at all possible....i.e. be able to roll it out of my garage when needed to use as that the place I am going to be trying my hand at this and do not want to burn down my house!


Regards,

Ditto what Mike (Hammerfall) said. I got one like George's and it's a beauty.
