I've never worked with a blue print. Both of the forges have blown burners that are powered by a bounce house blower that I use a length of black accordion drainage tube to switch the air supply back and forth. The first one is cast from Cast-O-Lite rammable refractory with aluminum angle irons to hold the soft refractory brick on the top and bottom. The other was built from a large mailbox (I bet you had that figured out already). It's lined with 3" of ceramic fiber matting that was then covered with Mizzou refractory. I made the hole in the refractory a little larger than the burner tube and crammed the refractory around it to hold the burner pipe in. The pipe does not come all the way out but is protected with a bit of the refractory to slow down it burning out. The outside of the mailbox was patched with some Rutlands cement patch when I had to rebuild the burner on it once.

Both has pass-through ports on the back and the "doors" are made from high temperature insulation board.
