Who is an active young,deserving smith, 14-18 years old?
Thanks for the nomination larryM ;)I must say it is maybe too far for a shipment to my country because of cost it can go over the price of real thing I was off the forum from several days because of hauling some springs (old truck in the bush) -they will be good for my future power hammer I nominate myself for the present. I am trying to make a good shop for my future work so the baby will be perfect otherwise I am going to make (some parts still missing) from magicforge blueprints (thank you!) I must say forge is very expensive present... parents agree...
