Making do with stuff at hand usually takes way more time than instant gratification ($), but it is so satisfying. I remember my grandfather working down a big trumpet horn with a piece of Coke bottle glass. Now, that was work! Sometimes I think that I have wased a day (or more) trying to work out a process in the Forge, but you know, it is a learning process for me, as I have had no teaching to show the way. I digress... Congrats on your collection. Now, I need to dust mine off!
TYGER, you are so correct. IMHO this is what makes a CRAFTSMAN. Many can "Produce" items, but when one also puts ones "HEART" into it ....
