Do you have a forge?

i have been thinking on making one here now for past 5 or so months
copy the ideas that my old friends from SCA forges but on a smaller scale and using a power hammer due to my spine wont let me swing a hammer like that's really needed before the metal gets too cold again.
figure a forge i can make from 10-25 dollors due to ill use a old grill and bricks and the only think i use that new is the piping and a blow dryer .
anvil can also be cheap using a hard stand such as a tree stump with heavy solid casted steal
people on youtube made whole sets ups from less then 40 dollars but they are way more handy then myself
