I needed a new forge, and went out looking for a suite able frame, I was about to let the mechanic shop here
make one out of sheet metal.
But then I found something perfect to build of, a trash can :)
That and some sheet metal and fiber ceramic blanket (1300*C Isolation material) is all that I need

Some of the front cut out.
Put in some isolation. 2 layers, totally 5cm thick.

A hole for the burner, slightly of center to make some circulation.

Welded some bars to make it strong.

Well, it works very well, I have to buy a new valve for the gas container to increase the flow.
Its not enough now with this bigger forge.

| Sheet metal (scrap) | 0$ | |
