    I've done a good bit of work in a washtub forge, as much as I like using charcoal, I've had to admit the economy and portability of the Ammo-box forge.

    A friend of mine took everything he liked about Ron Riel's freon can forge, and put it in an ammo box, along with some modifications to the burner if I recall.

    Highly portable, and it'll get welding temperatures at 15-20 psi, forging temperatures at 5.

    Nice one mithral, I'll check out some army disposals asap. So do have link for the design by any chance? What's used instead of charcoal?
    Cheers, Erin
