Getting My Grill Forge and Looking For a Blower

Well, I went to Ace Hardware today.  I bought a little tabletop grill to use as a forge.  I'm not sure what to do for a blower.  I found a little foot pump made for bike tires that I think might work.  I need to find something that's light and easy to take apart.  I want to make sure I get something that is going to blow enough air to keep the coals as hot as their supposed to be.  There was a very nice man at Ace Hardware that helped me out with some ideas and showed me some things that might work for a blower.  He also told me to use fireplace tongs instead of the more expensive forging tongs.  If you've got any ideas for  a blower please let me know.
