Thanks for the welcome. WRT the bike, euro bike for euro trash, i guess ;-)
Wrt the brake drum forge: that is the main option on the list. I have the feeling that drums from american cars have greater wall-thickness than from European/Japanese cars, I'm not sure though. I'll have to visit a few "vehicle disposal facilities" to find out.....
As to tending a coal forge, I find it to be very soothing (or sooting if you will) and therapeutic. I just hope my neighbors will agree

From one engineer to another --- think truck brake drum, or possibly an old cast iron kettle or pot, you can line it with refractory if you wish.
