any blacksmiths on the line?

Good leather gloves, Tongs, belt sander, and a "can do " attitude.
all hes got from that list...is the attitude

we dont even have the anvil mentioned above, just a big piece of I beam that is the frame of my logsplitter
(on the bright side, in true Appalachian American fashion, we can use that log splitter as a power hamer)
