[TheForge] ranite hardfacing rods

[Washington, Aubrey O.]

On my anvil it looks more like "slump"  or maybe "sigh".  It looks like it got tired of holding the horn out straight and just started sagging.  Maybe it got left out in the sun too long.  Though when Mike's involved, "cringe" can't be far off the mark.

I'm sure you're plenty familiar with CRINGE Mike.
