I'm about to start a project building a propane metal forge. This is the latest in a flurry of activity brought on by tragedy. I recently lost a very good friend at work when he unexpectedly passed away. This left a coveted opening on day shift that I was able to move to. This change in working hours has had an unexpected effect on me after working night shift for 14 years: I have energy again. My wife just thinks I've gone crazy. Maybe it's because I build a spud gun last week, I dunno.

Just got my new NC Whisper Deluxe Forge (with the back door). I'm so excited to get going with it. I've been heating metal rods with my torch, hammering, heating, blah blah. I'm reading to have the rods ready for me now.
