[TheForge] Decent article

[Jerry Frost]

I'm noodling around with a new web browser specialized for Blogging and ran 
into this on a simple search. It isn't a particularly extraordinary article 
but there are a couple good illustrations of forges. The first is of a home 
made side draft forge with a piston-like bellows build between the legs.

The second forge has the counter weighted lever action blower we were 
talking about a couple weeks back. The illustration might be helpful.

Oh yeah the Blog thing. Yeah, I'm playing around with a Blog based out of 
the ArtMetal Radio Podcast site.

Enrique Vega and I will be making weekly podcasts beginning soon. Our first 
interview will maybe be tonight. We're still working the bugs out but it's 
about ready to go.

How it works is pretty simple. If you're so inclined you can subscribe to 
the Gizmo web phone server so we can talk in hi fidelity for free anywhere 
in the USA. It may be world wide but I don't know.

There's also a phone in option Enrique's enabled to let people phone on a 
land line for $0.01.8/min that's one point eight cents per minute to ease 
confusion.

Right now we're looking to build a list of folk willing to let us interview 
them. Podcasts will be 30 min. shows but we'll get together on Gizmo ahead 
of time to coordinate things so it'll go smoothly.

You can get more of the low down skinny, including if you're REALLY bored my 
blog, at this URL: http://www.artmetalradio.com/

If anyone wants to talk about what, why, how, they do, make stuff let me 
know. I'll be hitting a few of you up on the side and probably pester you 
till you either submit to my desires (for an interview. Gutter mind!) or 
filter me permanently. <grin>

it ain't real.
