Glad it didn't happen last week...

  I fired up the forge for the first time since finishing the chest(other than a quick demo I did on Saturday.)  Work has kept me busy and I expect to have very little free time next week.  Anyway, I was just messing around on the forge and threw out my back.  I have a spot which routinely has some problems but its a little worse than normal.  I actually had difficulty cleaning up because my back was so bad.

  I think I will take somewhat of a break to give my back a chance to rest.  Besides, like I said, I expect to be very busy because of work this week.  I think the next thing that I want to do is make a stand for my swage block.  The swage block (pronounced swedge) is a big hunk of metal with different shapes in it.  It is used to shape metal into things like spoons...  I've had to use the swage on the ground.  My bad back today reminded me that its not a good way to work.


RIP Paw Paw Wilson...  I didn't really know you but you were always helpful.
