[TheForge] Mastermyr II List of Items Update 2

Fri Jun 21 01:23:01 2002

Phlip,

Just 3 sizes of stock:

2" x 1/4"  for the frame and top plate
3/4" x 1/4" for the grill strips and top hook
1/4" round for the chains, swivel eye and rivets

actual thickness for the frame and grill strips was ~ 3/16" so had to 
forge the 2 x 1/4 and 3/4 x 1/4 down also strips were only ~ 5/8" wide

I'll send more details later today.

Bill
