[Canska]

Get a decent welder and learn to use it well
Build a decent coal forge
Practice forge welding
Forge more decorative (salable) items

[oakwoodironworks]

My goal is to build some sort of shop to forge in. All of my tools are stored in various corners of the shop where I work and every time I want to do something, I have to drag them out and set them up. I work about 20 miles from where I live and it is not the ideal situation. One good thing is that I have enough tools to have a good shop when I do finally get one built

[philip in china]

1. Do some artistic work instead of just making and fixing tools
2. Start to organise the shop at the place in Bulgaria
3. Stop being bad tempered and be kinder to my wife
4. Do more paperwork that needs to be done and do it on time.
