I will not be welding in this forge, but doing some heat treating. I've never built or used a forge, but all the makings are in my shop.
Materials in hand are ,ceramic fiber, IFB, hard brick, itc-100, itc-213, satainite, sairbond, ins-tuff,
This will be a 7" diameter shell, 10" deep, one inch blanket.
Here is what I'm thinking
Regarding the floor only.
I know hard brick will be more durable, but being I'm using this strictly for heat treating, would the softer insulating brick be better than rigidized blanket, with sairbond, and ITC-100?
