[TheForge] tools

[Jerry Frost]

Oh Pete, Pete, Pete. <sigh>

We're assuming he really wants to get into smithing and 
we're trying to inspire him to scrounge, wheel & deal, 
improvise and yes, learn to weld.

In this vein we're assuming if he can't finagle 
somebody into welding a little round stock to the 
handles of a pair of end nippers or slip joint pliers 
he's going to be hard pressed to blacksmith in the 
proper spirit. Is there a one of us been doing this a 
while who's NOT an accomplished pack rat?

Hmmmmmm?

it ain't real.
