[Justin Caradoc]

Finnr be careful of that kind of shrapnel the paper cuts can be lethal.

And to think of all the cash I sent to Lindsay Publications over the years...

It's ok thou, always nice to have hard copy too.

Greetings all! I think I'm gonna like this place.

Oh, re: if Gutenberg has any Smithing books, not really, but there are a few which may be of interest to some who might want to make their own furniture for the workshop, The one on Glasswork more as a novelty, but hey, if yer' temps can make it that high,,,
So many of these are for noveltys sake, but some like Mechanics for Boys can have some useful tidbits. Sorry if this list is too far from the particular topic of this thread, but I'm sure most books will hold some relevant & helpful info, or at least make up for it in novelties sake.
