I have a small rivet type forge I built from an old brake drum. I feed it with forced air and coke, with a propane inlet to get the coke up to heat. Coal and coke are very expensive to have shipped in, but it is available through membership in some of the craft guilds at a reduced price. My crucible is made from the bottom third of an old medical oxygen tank. It was condemmed and I got it for that purpose. (they also make really neat wind chimes with the top part..) I guess the heat in my furnace is too hot for the average coffee can, I was melting aluminum cans in it and suddenly had a stream of molten aluminum in the bottom of the furnace where the bottom melted out. Working iron in a forge is very addictive.</p></blockquote><p></p>
