[TheForge] Pennsic survived ;-)

[Jerry Frost]

Sounds like an outstandingly productive Pennsic. I'll 
get to attend one of these years. <sigh>

AND now we know why so many folk are practicing 
experimental archaeology eh? A number of years ago I 
was watching a show with a prominent American 
archeologist who was discussing Clovis points and how 
nobody, NO BODY knew how the long flutes were made. 
Sitting beside me (somewhere, close) was a magazine 
by/about/for hobbiest flint knappers with step by step 
intructions in no less than three period and material 
correct techniques for producing Clovis points. Of 
course it wasn't a scholarly publication so . . . They 
have since, long since corrected that oversight and 
employ flint knappers as a study technique.

Probably a better bit of goodness is figuring out a 
method to help a blind person do some forging. how are 
you coming on doing the same for our wheel chair bound 
folk?

Good on ya Phlip.

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