[TheForge] Historical type Forge

Thu Apr 24 16:49:01 2003

As others have and will mention, a portable forge for the period isn't. I
don't believe that the boys will really care what kind of coal forge is
there. It is the get it hot and hit it that they will watch. I agree about
keeping the boys back from the work area - if not for touching things, then
for the flying forge scale.
