		<description><![CDATA[This past Saturday was the Harvest Fest at the location our local club has our other forge. So of course we opened the doors to run a demo for the public on Friday and Saturday. Due to work I couldn't be there on Fri but I was able to be there on Sat. I got there at 08:30 to help set up and get the smithy opened up and the fires lit for the...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well found a suitable stump to mount my new anvil on. This piece of what ever has a 5 1/2" X 5 1/2" x 9 1/2" socket in the underside so I cut a 5" tall post out of the top of my stump to fit in the socket. This solved the issue of how to keep this thing from walking on top of the stump. I mounted it yesterday afternoon it took...]]></description>

		<description>I went to the monthly meeting of the Maumie Valley Blacksmiths this morning. Last month one of the fine members there offered me a road find he came across to use as an anvil. Well today I went with an empty trunk. It took two of us to get it in the car some how I was able to get it out by my self and on to a dolly. I estimate it at around...</description>

		<description>Well I have been improving my set up. I got tired of being hunched over on the ground it was killing my back. So it was time to make an ergonomic change. I took the drum lid and cut a hole in the center with my trusty Dremel big enough for the brake drum to fit into allowing the lip of it to rest on the lid. Then I went to the local handy dandy...</description>

		<description><![CDATA[So tried my hand at making tongs today. I used some of my rebar that I have. I learned a lot from this exercise. The main thing this taught me is hammer control and how to use the edges of my RR track to fuller work to get the shapes I need. With all that said I messed this one up. I didn't draw out enough material to have long enough reigns....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well I hope I got this right.<br /><br />I took some vacation this week and have taken the time to set up my make shift forge so I can start working on my basic skills. I was able to find some useful junk in the brush around the house. I found a section of 8" stove pipe, a 55gal barrel lid, and 6 pieces of 4'x 1/2" rebar :D. <br />So my set up is...]]></description>
