[TheForge] Mastermyr - Fire Grid

Mon May 27 19:24:00 2002

Rob,
I'm off to meet Roger in Harrisburg, Pa to pick up the Pure Iron Stock I 
need for the fire grid.  Will keep you posted on my daily progress. 
 Plan is to meet Roger again on morning of 4 June in Harrisburg with the 
completed piece.  Should I mark it or are all the items being 
touchmarked  theforge?

Bill
