[TheForge] Mastermyr - Fire Grid

Sun May 26 10:22:01 2002

Ah, wait a minute- finally found the referenced detail!!!! In the top left
right above the numbersa, "31a" is a little spiral doohickey which appears
to be the attachment method for the chains. Looks like to me, that it would
both hold well, and allow the chains to be removed at need. If anyone wants
a copy of what I'm looking at, post me......
