[TheForge] Beautiful tool

[Jerry Frost]

It cycles like a striking hammer though it's actually a 
press he uses to form sheet steel. You should watch the 
video if you have the bandwidth, it explains 
everything. Heck it even sounds pretty.

The guy lives about 250 miles from here and Deb's been 
wanting to visit Fairbanks for some time now. We might 
have to get a critter sitter and take a cruise.

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