Nice set up you have there, personally I prefer the big 2 chamber bellows.. but I also have a hand crack blower for my portable forge

what would u suggest for a blast forge?

You can but the issue is that the fire is way too deep. You're going to have an issue with getting the steel down in the fire if you are doing twists and such

I was wondering if I could use a tire rim and layer the inside w/ a clay.

i don't want to mortar the bricks, because I'm afraid any air pockets will expand and pop. So, I figure, i can just put loose gravel around the outsides of the bricks, and the bottom of the barrel to protect the thin steel from the heat. I plan to clean it out every few years to reset the bricks, and remove the larger clinkers from the fire pot, which dont fall into the duck pot. BTW, I found all of the materials i need including the plumbing parts in my scrap pile.
