    John,

    would this be a good place to insert a "And Now A word From our Sponsor" blurb?...

    Chris was busy with the mini hammer-in and teaching me shoemaking; and at Danny Ward clinic and helping out a veteran blacksmith; plus running around with my shoeing, and showing him parts of the my country; than he did have time to show me about loading up pics.

    anyway, I worked in the forge with my new tools:) ; and even though is not WCB:cry: ; it was.... shall we say... 'functional' at best[a very polite way of saying], and got the job done; just need practice; as he said; and just very rusty on my forging skills.
    it's my fault; I should be way better than that; but time constraints; etc.

    here're mine... nothing special, a mix of cottam, blurton and diamond economy lines.
    there are actually, two that are special to me; the hammer is of indeterminate origin but was given to me by Mr. Alan Woodyatt on one of my college blocks at Warwick and the little back pritchel, which was made by my son when he was about 12.

    just out of curiosity, Smitty, why the green and white tape around the handles of your tongs?
