Blacksmithing heaven...


  So, I've been going stir crazy with not being able to do any blacksmithing.  Yesterday, I decided to make some calls to see if I could find some coal.  After exhausting the list of smithing supply stores I found a listing of farrier supply stores that had some stores that I hadn't tried.  After a few phone calls and a road trip, I have 200# of coal to last me until Thanksgiving.
  I spent all day today smithing at an event.  I made a cross piece for the clock.  I won't be able to use it as some elements of it are not what I expected.  But, as I was telling a friend, as long as I learn something new, it is never a wasted day.  Good to be back at the forge!
