Does anyone know where to get refractory bricks, I want to make a forge, but I can't find any. I looked at home depot and a local farm store. Nothing.

Check with a local concrete company that sells various kinds of block, they may have fire brick. Thats where I got mine.

Some of the Blacksmith supply shops sell refractory mix for relining gas forges.

I was thinking of making a one brick forge. I just got the $50 knife shop book by Wayne Goddard. It is just a refractory brick hollowed out with a small hole in the side for a torch. I will make a drum one later, need to find something for a blower and some good coal. Oh ya, I am thinking about moving your way in a few years.

Send me you address and I'll send you our a few bricks - I have a large box of 'em.  The mini-forges work well.
