[TheForge] Input wanted

[Chris Kilpatrick]

Yes, that one, Dan.

I need to write an article about building mine, but I have another article already under development for anvil tools from railroad rail.  Would have had it done, but I have been working on a viking pattern welded sword and building a new forge.  I have a really inexpensive burner assembly that works excellent, that I had to engineer.

It is I who formed the blacksmith, 
who fans the flame into a fire and
fashions a weapon fit for it's work.
