[TheForge] A challenge to Harry

[Jerry Frost]

Oh yeah, free is the best. If that is you really need 
or want it. Being a hereditary packrat (both sides for 
several generations) I have to be REALLY careful about 
picking up things just because they're free. 
Fortunately Deb enjoys the same condition so I don't 
catch too much heat and I can point to one of a 
multitude of empty picture frames if I do. Deb seems to 
have a thing for picture frames nearly as compulsive as 
my thing for free steel. <grin>

40" x 16" is going to be a BIG forge if you use it all, 
even if you use up a lot of the volume with insulating 
liner. How are you going to fire it?

I like not fancy as long as it performs. I still like 
to design the fantasy device but usually pare it down 
to reasonably practical. Of course if you saw all the 
fancy stuff I put in the shop floor you wouldn't 
believe it. <grin>

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