Still have your gracious gift box on the shelf. My small forge didn’t see much use this year as my mentor and teacher Dickie Robinson passed away..... and packing up for a move to new home. Cant remember if I thanked you or not so will again . I’m on road trip again after xmas for 90 days then back home for 180 days.....new forge will be up an running by then in a dedicated purpose built shop.

I didn’t know y’all were into this stuff. My son attended a blacksmithing class last year and has been turning out some really cool knives and sheathes. He built his own forge, worked some old files into blades, worked some old lawn mower blades into knife blades, and bought some quality wood for handles.
