[TheForge] Bronze casting

No tongs?
The little bronze I've forged conducted heat a whole lot faster than
any steel or iron I've worked.

Arrowheads could be forged quite nicely from 1/2" round, and you could

work your way down a piece- ie start forging a point at one end, then 
cut it off after you have it sharpened to your satisfaction, and do the

next. That way you dont even need tongs as long as you get a piece of 
bronze 2- 3 feet long.
