Kick my ass and call me Sally,

  First time on forge in many weeks and it kicked my ass.  I started by beginning to make some new tools.  I cut of a piece of spring steel to make into a chisel.  Next, I moved onto a new pair of tongs.  I'm taking my time on the tongs to see how nice I can make them.  Also, after observing other smiths recently, I've come to the conclusion that I'm usually using the wrong tongs.  So, going to try and remake all of my tongs over the next few sessions.
