Paint Can Forge

A forge is something i've wanted for a while but never really had a good reason to buy.  Plus i didn't want to deal with coal.

I have seen the coffee can forges but wasn't overly impressed by the ones I saw online as they used some weird overly complicated DIY burner.  Some didn't have a back on them to pass long pieces through which i thought was cool but the doors they built seemed clumsy.  

I chose to use a Paint can but I used the bottom of the can as the front.  I then created a plug for the back and attached it to what once was the lid.  This lid can be removed to allow pass through.  
I used a propane torch I already had on hand for some old plumbing jobs i did around the house.  

I purchased the following items on line for $37 including shipping
     Satanite Refractory Cement
     1" Thick Insulwool, The smallest amount i could get was 2 sq' but I only needed 1 sq'

Empty Paint can from Home Depot for ~$5.00

I had on hand
     a few metal bits from some old hanging file folders
     A propane torch


Edit:  I recently made a portable rocket stove for camping with the remaining insulwool but no Satanite as i thought it would break up and i didn't want the extra weight.  The outside of that rocket stove gets WAY hotter than this forge so the Satanite is far more important than I thought it was.

Step 1 Feet

Using a pair of pliers i bent the metal pieces from an old hanging file folder into some feet.
I drilled holes and screwed it to the Paint can.
