[TheForge] New land and future forge

[Jerry Frost]

That's terrific Steve, congratulations.

I know how good I felt to be able to walk into my own 
shop and put what I wanted where I wanted it without 
anyone being able to say boo. No problem with her shop 
being larger so long as you get a nook to store things 
in. <grin>

Seriously mate a halfway competent scrounge could fill 
your shop in an afternoon. Mine is 30' x 40' and it was 
getting crowded before I got the roof on it. <grin>

How much are you going to ship back from England? 
Something with a name like Massey on it I hope?

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