[@WatersIronworks]

Good luck with it. It was a fun project.

..if at first you don't succeed, heat it up and give it some more whacks or make another. Well done Phillip! Quick as it gets below 90+ i'm firing up the forge. that may be October...

[@WatersIronworks]

It is a crazy hot summer!
I assume people might like to see what goes wrong as well as right. I find it encouraging to see that everyone else isn't making things perfect every time.
