@jack688 It's not melting because it's lined with refractory blanket/mortar. I will edit the video information to include links to the forum pages where I documented the build. It's really VERY easy...cost me about $30 (less the torch), and took me about two hours total (less dry time for the refractory mortar).
If you have any other questions after reading those pages...PM me and I'll help any way I can!
I am still slightly surprised at how well it works. That little torch doesn't exactly seem to be a powerhouse of heat lol, but the forge body seems to reflect and magnify it handily. It'll be nice to get back to making things. Very theraputic =p.
If you wanted a forge that is a bit longer you could go to home depot or lowes and get some stove pipe and some stove pipe caps.
