[TheForge] Making letters from wire/new-old equivilent tools

[Jerry Frost]

I'd have to tell them to stuff the phony horse shoes.

I do remember something for bending up wire letters but 
that was a long time ago. I seem to recall you could 
string them together in words by not cutting the wire. 
I wish I could remember where I saw it, popular 
mechanics/science or comic book are good possibilities.

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