[TheForge] hammer of the gods

[Michael H. Murphy]

Fiddlin' Red Simpson up in Washington state has the same idea.  Nothing is
his shop is later than about 1840.  I haven't been there for years, but I
don't think he even used electric lights.  That may be pushing it a bit, but
he sure did some fine work.  Played good fiddle, too.
