[TheForge] Thank you

[Mike Linn]

I saw Don Fogg do this last weekend at the Blade Symposium.  We got his 
forge set up and then he asked for another blower..  I scratched my head 
wondering what he wanted that for...  we hooked it up and he placed under 
the forge opening. viola...   no more burnt hair and much cooler "handles" 
for forging...

He told me about a surplus shop that had small (2.5") squirrel cage blowers 
for a few dollars each.. I dont remember where but I'll ask and get back 
with ya'll..
