Here is the burner design I used. I made some minor modifications, like two set screws up top and an air flow adjustment plate. I'm working on a design for the forge itself right now.
Edit:
A pressure regulator is necessary to adjust the size of the flame coming out of the burner. The fitting on the output of this one is a 3/8" flare.

All the ones that had hand tightened plastic fittings leaked.
Sorry, no guide as I built it on the fly, but it isn't too hard. I can give you a parts list tho. The tank is 10lbs, and I used 25"x24"x2" kaowool, 6 fire bricks, and some refractory cement. The only thing you'll need other than this stuff, is a couple 2" black pipe nipples for the inlets and the stand is recycled angle iron from bed frames. The burners are called Frosty 'T' and the plans are available just about anywhere, tho one thing I'd recommend is talking to a gas certified plumber when it comes to doing the propane plumbing. According to some of the guys I showed the plans to, many of the online tutorials recommend fittings that aren't rated for propane, so they'll steer you the right way. The regulator I used is this one, which I chose because it's all metal construction makes it more durable than the plastic ones. https://www.amazon.ca/Bayou-Classic-5HPR-40-Adjustable-Regulator/dp/B0033JF0GE/ref=sr_1_34?keywords=propane+regulator&qid=1566264229&s=gateway&sr=8-34
