[TheForge] Chain & Treadle Video

Fri Apr 30 23:38:03 2004

I just took a look.

1)  It's on the main (home) page. Look right above the graphic of the 
blacksmith at the anvil.

2) Under Mozilla I just clicked the link and it ran.

While I wished for a larger display of it, it was fascinating to see how 
quickly he did each step.
