Using the paint lid as a base, I drilled holes on the bottom of the paint can and lid to use use the lid and bracket to mount the body of the forge. At first, I drilled the holes in the back without thinking about the space required to bolt the lid-base on so the top hole in the back of the can ended up not being used. Once the bracket was loosely fitted to both the back of the can and the base, I tightened everything down nice and snug. Now the back bracket alone would not be enough to hold the weight of the completed forge so I decided to incorporate the attached handle into the support structure. Folding the handle down, to see where it would intersect, I drilled a hole in the lid close to the edge. My plan was to pin the handle between the bolt in the drilled hole and the lip on the can. It just missed but after I added a larger washer to the bolt it was locked in beautifully.
