[TheForge] hardies and other accoryies for the anvil

[Jeffrey Polaski]

I don't know if you can weld or not, but it's a good skill to have as a
blacksmith. Very worthwhile if there's a local junior college around. 

If you can weld, then you can make a lot of hardie tools (and other
stuff) easily. I imagine you could forge-weld them if you wanted.

I was looking for the tools that the group find most useful.  Since the
hardies cost money I wanted to only buy the ones that were the most
useful.

	Besides the standard chisel, there is a very long list of 
possibilities, limited only by need and imagination. There are, of 
course, the more common and general items such as butchers, fullers, 
swages,etc.  Then there are specialty tools thatone may make for 
specific tasks.

	Perhaps you could narrow your question down a bit?
