I suspect that to get one that works properly you’d also need an item that might have been common in days of yore but is now rare: a blacksmith’s furnace.

Most of the key parts are in a propane grill to make one...

***but is now rare: a blacksmith’s furnace.***

Easy to make out of 1/4 inch steel plate, or a brake drum. The blower is a hair dryer. You can buy coal or design it to use propane. A propane and oxygen fire will get the steel hot real fast.

I used to shoe horses and still have my blacksmith tools.
