Just a quick update,
I have definitely put the blacksmithing on hold. I threw out the bad coal Monday. I could have struggled to work with it, but I'm at the point that unless its an emergency I have no desire to work in those conditions. I am putting things on hold until early December. That is when I will be returning with about 1000+ pounds of coal. I am going to get the coal dumped into the bed of the truck. That will actually cut the cost in half. I should be able to get the coal for around $70-80. To have it bagged would push it close to $200. So, I am going to be looking for somewhere to store it.
What I am going to do is make and elevated flower bed alongside a bare part of the house. I am thinking that about 8' x 3' x 2' deep should be enough to store the coal. If I am guessing correct, the 1000# should be enough to last one full year. That would be good because I can just make it an annual thing to pick up the coal.
To look on the bright side of things, this will give me a chance to take care of some things in the garage. I already resurfaced my table saw. The problem with Florida is that tools rust rapidly. I also want to make a tool stand for the blacksmithing. Right now, my tools are scattered around and in buckets. I also want to make a pouch for carrying files. The pouch would be designed to prevent files from contacting each other(don't want files to file each other down.) Anyway, that is the plan.
