[TheForge] Mastermyr - Fire Grid

Sun May 26 22:48:01 2002

Well, the best laid plans .... My daughter came to visit with my 
grandson, so I didn't do as much work today as I planned.  

I did find time to make a test angle and corner hook.  Looks like it 
will work fine.   Biggest problem is not having any wrought iron stock 
anywhere near the dimensions I need. Because of that, the hardest part 
will be hammering out the four 2" x 3/16" x 24" pieces I need for the 
outside frame. Will get back to work on it on Tuesday and see how it goes.  

Haven't  heard from Rob on his drop dead date, but the email from  Jim 
Sorber gave me an idea.  Is anyone from eastern PA, New Jersey, etc 
that's going to the conference planning to travel through PA on 
 Interstate 80 on there way there?  I only live about a mile off I 80 in 
central PA( Route 15 - Susquehanna River).  If anyone's going that way 
and is willing to pick up the Fire Grid it might give me the time I need 
to finish it.
