Yeah - my old farrier had one in the back of his truck.

I always thought he was gonna catch that truck on fire in the driveway... it burns really hot!

Current shoer has a forge at home, he says... but he doesn't hot fit shoes. It's a dying art, I think.

That’s pretty groovy.

Farriers... that’s a special skill. Not sure I’d like that.

I found myself wandering the web and finding like these 4 or 5 day classes even here in Washington, where they teach introductory smithing. Would make a fun vacation week, I think. Take a week off and cruise down to White Salmon (where one of them is) and spend the week learning how to make stuff. Would be fun. A different sort of diversion.

That forge isn’t sitting over the gas tank is it?
