Its spring and the forge is blooming... (bad blacksmithing pun...)
Dragged out the forge for the first time in a few weeks. I started by making a bodkin arrow head. This is a type of arrow designed to penetrate medieval armor. Next, practiced some welding for the hell of it. Finally, started to make a twisting fork. Unfortunately, I was using my oxy/acetylene to make it and I ran out of oxygen.
Point of trivia. When I pay to have the oxygen tank refilled, there is a small surcharge that I have to pay... What is surcharge for? To pay for the environmental damage of accidentally releasing oxygen in the atmosphere... I kid you not...
