  1. Last winter me and a friend forged in his uninsulated barn during that polar vortex. Had to preheat his 350 lb anvil every day for a week. I think it got down to -20F.
  2. At least it was a benign oil. When I was first started to seriously smith (I was about 13 at the time) I was quenching in used motor oil. When I finally got something decent out of the forge, i went inside and used my mother's oven to temper it. Needless too say, she want happy with the results. In hindsight, I don't know how she put up with me...
  3. I just moved to the Louisville/Lexington Kentucky area from New York. I work in New Albany, and would be down if something were to start up. I'm living in Lawrenceburg atm and don't have my set up redone.
