[TheForge] Nice, TheForge is still going strong

Hey Dave!

Good to see you back with us.

Have you had fun building your new place? <been there grin> Our place is all
finished except those few things that probably never will get done. The
latest pic on our page is from winter 2002 but it hasn't changed looks much
since then.

Still waiting to build a real shop but have been keeping my hand in under a
lumber/tarp/tent tacked onto the Connex. richard and I just added a small
section for my new coal forge and fired it off for it's first burn today.

I'm hoping I can get something a bit more solid put up next summer.

Welcome back.

it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
