[TheForge] OT Test

[magichammer]

Funny that the fish-on-wheels is just as much work (if not more) than 
the fish lamp.
The wheels are really intense to make. Doing the actual fish is just 
about the same in either case.

Down here in the deep gulf south, the humidity is intense. Some days it 
is as if you sprayed the inside of
your shop with a garden hose. Your anvils, work tables and any other 
heavy metal have water dripping off
of them. For machinery, almost any paint that you have will work. As far 
as hand tools, hammers,
anvils etc. you just learn to live with the rust and clean as necessary
