Thanks guys. It's easy to get caught up into making it look prettier, when really I just want to use it...So until it warms up outside, it'll stay rusty...But I am using it...Not doing much, but still banging on MY OWN anvil...Looking around to see what I should try first. My forge is still out in the barn, so I am heating up metal in our woodstove coals. It is slow and I am not as hot as I'd like, but I'm doing something. I'll grab the forge this week so I can get metal to proper temp.
Again thanks.
