[TheForge] Coal Forges - lets try this again

[Jerry Frost]

Toni:

Find a local truck repair shop and ask for a brake 
drum. I have yet to find a shop that won't let me pick 
through the drops, dumpster, etc. especially if I tell 
them what I'm doing. Don't limit yourself to truck 
shops either, try a spring shop, machine shop, fab 
shop, etc. for all kinds of useful materials. You may 
want to make the foreman something as a gift or bring 
the guys in the shop a box of donuts in the morning for 
PR. A little PR goes a long way. <grin>

If it ain't forged
it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
