[TheForge] Christmas Projects?

[Michael H. Murphy]

I've made a couple of campfire sets (uprights with a horizontal bar you can
hang pots from), some fire pokers, a door knocker, and a couple of candle
holders.  As stocking stuffers, I make bookmarks, oyster shuckers out of
railroad spikes, business card racks and letter openers.  It's a lot more
fun than trying to wade through the crush at the mall.
