	Rosebud.  Heat tip to bright yellow.  reforge using a hammer and either 
another hammer as a dolly, or a real dolly.  Be sure to secure the anvil 
so it doesn't walk around as you attempt to reforge the horn.  You can 
even tack it to a welding table.  Just make sure it is fast.

You can also place a wet towel on the face to sink away heat from the body.

	Hands in close proximity to that much heat always demands strong 
caution and awareness.  Two people are probably better for this job than 
one.
