You don't have to buy the torches for the forge, you can make them from a few pieces of pipe. Fire brick or any kind of ceramic meant to be used inside a stove would do for a floor. Ceramic wool should be available from any place that sells wood stoves or from some place that does repair work on commercial heating systems.
The soak temp would be the temp at which you want to quench.
Sure, you risk over heating but O1 is very forgiving so as long as the over heating isn't too bad you should still be OK ....
