As for ergonomics, how about a foot switch? It seems like a
stupidly petty consideration, much like a heated car seat,
but I bet it would be a good addition. The forge is set
to whatever heat beforehand, the foot switch changes
that to idle and back without the smith having to occupy
hands and waste time reorienting himself to the work afterward.
