Well that's good to hear, with the all the multiple closings of this type of industry, it's really heart warming to see it continuing. Smile

Hello Rob,
What is it you do in the Forge shop?

I used to do steam hammer repairs from time to time as an Apprentice, Back at the Steelworks where I trained.

Best regards
Rick
