You have a very interesting and full life Rob, good for you.
Rob sadly I haven't fired it up yet , I have been doing one project after another the last couple of years, between making project sketches and ordering materials it slips my mind..... This fall when the heat off the forge will be welcome I plan on getting started with it....
I'm interested in the Japanese style of blacksmithing, this winter I'm going to study it and next spring see if I can produce tongs something close to theirs.
Check these beautifully done Japanese forge tools out, they are so beautifully I don't think I could stick them in a hot forge.
