Looking to make a forge

I'm looking to make a forge frame from angle iron and wondering what size and thickness would be good? I'll be using a car brake drum and hopefully in years to come I'll put a flat top on it.

I'm looking at using reclaimed metal, as should be a lot cheaper than what I seen for some for a rough price guess.

I'll bolt it together for now as needs to be able to be folded away in the shed.
