Researching...

  Well, I have to say the break from the blacksmithing is definitely over.  I'm finding myself anxious to get on the forge.  Probably more than I have in some time.  However, summer in Florida means lots of rain and lighting and it has made it difficult to get out.  I should be able to get a fair amount in this weekend.

  This week I did find a potential bit of major information.  There is a medieval book called "The Almanus Manuscript" which was written in the 15th century and contains over 30 sketches by a clock maker of some of the clocks he worked on.  It is very rare to find documents of this nature.  What surprises me is that in all of my searches over the past few years I never stumbled across this book.  So yesterday I ordered it from Amazon and hopefully should get it soon.

  On another note on the clock, I hope to get back to it within the next few days.
