Forge 1 : Mr. Planters 0

  In the first competition of its kind anywhere, Mr. Planters took on my forge.  The forge won...

  I was using the container to hold borax.  Borax is used as a fluxing agent when doing forge welding.  Well, when I pulled out a piece to weld, I hadn't noticed that a piece of coke had rolled near the container.  When I turned back, I saw what you see now.  I've moved the borax to a new container.

  I decided to take a break and make something quick and easy so I started to make some camp cooking items.  I made the actually cooking stand and crossbar.  This is convertable into a tripod.  I will try to put pics of that up soon.  I plan to make some 'S' hooks to go with the camp gear today.  I might go back and try to do some more work with the clock.

  And on a final note, thanks once again to the guys at www.anvilfire.com  I frequently visit the slacktub pub for advice...
