You know, Tom, I've been wracking my brain for months trying to come up with a catchy forge name... it just might stick. Now to make a touchmark in the shape of a wasp...
I had the day off today and went to the doctors. It seems as I'm cleaning out my "gee-rage" and turning more of it into "the shop", I've come across some poison ivy or something like it lately. Two weeks ago, it was on my face and in my eyes. Medicated for a week and it went away. This time, it's all over my torso and hammer arm and driving me UP THE WALL!!! If I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all, right.
So on the way to the Doc's, I spot the shovel half. I figure to go back for it on my way home. When I get there, I drive on and see the "leaf" just past it, and BACK UP ON THE EXPRESSWAY to get it. Salvage will surely be the end of me.
I'm going to re-handle the shovel for my coal bin. Not sure what the 1" pin is for. The leaf originally looked like one from a semi or something big. Now that I have it in my hands (pic) its almost an inch thick... I think it's a fork from a forklift. Comments? What should I do with it (don't go looking for it in Iron-in-the-Hat, either!)

As for the ASO, I've already got a 125LB London pattern (not sure of brand), so I'll likely make a small "anvil" with horn for use close to my forge for very small work.
