[TheForge] yurt wall connector, forge or cast?

[Phlip]

Terry, let me check with my SCA friends. I suspect that I could find you a
few websites that will answer all your questions- I get the distinct feeling
that you're over-engineering ;-)

BTW, the other name for yurt is "ger" pronounced "grrr", and spelled with
variations.

 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
