Simple Propane Forge

I'd made this burner a few months earlier, though for this setup, I shortened the main tube, and replaced the
burner tip with a piece of stainless steel. The old mild steel pipe would carburize and erode, whereas
the stainless lasts far longer. I cut a simple hole in the sheetmetal wrap and then through the wool
lining, to accept the burner.
