Well, the eye has healed up nicely and my vision is back to normal. However, the passing of a good friend had kept me from having the spirit to work for the past week. She lost her battle to cancer and I just was not in the mood to do any work.
Things are settling back down and I'm looking to get back to the forge. In the meantime, I did receive several new blacksmithing books from Amazon and I just placed an order for some tools from www.blacksmithdepot.com. I am ready to get back to the forge but it must wait on the finishing the thrones for the SCA. I did get a fair amount of work done on them tonight. If things go well, I might get some time in this week.

About forge time...

It's good to hear you are back to work, even if not on the clock. Why don't you review the blacksmithing books for us here on your blog?
I've been thinking of doing that for some time. Since I've learned smithing mainly through books and trial and error, I've picked up quite a few books (at least 30 at this point) to help me with blacksmithing. Some of the books are just reference while others are actual "how-to" books. I may take your suggestion and just review my entire collection. Some of the books have been great purchases while others were a waste of money. So, if I do get the chance, I will take up your suggestion. Thanks...
I'll second that as a good idea!
