Finally got back to the forge,

  Today was the first day in two weeks that I got on the forge.  I finished the last large upright.  I set up a few of the pieces to get a better idea of the size.  It is going to be a very large brazier.  I am going to have to make spacer pieces between the uprights to hold the wood in the brazier.  I think the next thing I am going to make is the metal ring to hold the uprights together.  I want to make sure things will go together okay before I invest more time with the additional pieces.

  On another note, I have found myself thinking a lot about the clock.  I think once the new anvil arrives, I am going to make a real effort to get back to it.

  My luck with books continues.  At a Border's on Saturday, I found a somewhat decent smithing book that I didn't own.
