Simple Propane Forge

MUCH better than the earlier "stacked firebrick" version- I'll have to make some flappers or something
so the inlet can be adjusted on the fly, but right now, it makes as good a heat as I could hope for.
I can't get to "welding" heat yet, but that's irrelevant at the moment- I have MIGs and TIGs for that.
A bar kept in there for 20-plus minutes never got to sparking or burning, so that's a good thing.
