Well here is the link for my forge, with alot of ideas from you guys and some changes made by me here is the video link http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2017703258

all the insulation is from my work (boilers) and a few items from Darren, the tank is a 12 gallon air tank for semi brakes, which by the way are free for me.., im forcing air in from the bottom which is going behind the insulation and rolling down through the top where the flame enters i have a 2 1/2 flare, i have another one that i use for heat treating, its just that there was so many people asking questions and having problems with building a forge i wanted to try it, i havent a clue as to how hot it gets, no temp gauge yet, but it will make a piece of 1/4" thick stainless go from room temp to an easy crush with a mild hammer swing.. by the way the camera is 10 feet away so this is a must use outdoors device with all safety measures standing by.
