[TheForge] the list

[David R. Crowell]

I have heard that working blacksmiths have the hardie hole to the hamer

horn, evrybody knows it points down into the stump! How else are you going
to keep your anvil fastened in place?  ;-)

should point to the left.  People that point the horn to the right also use
store bought forge welding compound.
