If you have a decent hardware store in town you probably won't have to order anything except the wool and Satanite . Everything I used came from the hardware store and in one example I built my own gate valve and blower so cost can be controlled, size can be controlled. Forges wear out and have to be rebuilt every year or so (unless you build a monstrosity like the huge forge I demo at the end of the video) so it makes sense to built your own, it's easier to maintain that way ...
