[TheForge] Real men dont use tongs

[Lynn Emrich]

I admit that I don't like gloves so I've started
keeping a spray bottle of water by the forge. As the
'handle' starts to get hot I spray it with a little
water. It has the added benifit of showing me where
NOT to grab. Anyone else as foolish as me?
