Hey, what sort of forge have you got.


It's a Whitlox Homestead wood fired forge.

I was going to go with a traditional coal forge when I stumbled across 
the Whitlox design.  Instead of turning coal into coke, it turns 
firewood into charcoal, or you can just burn charcoal directly. 
Charcoal is less energy dense, so you burn more of it, but it doesn't 
form clinkers or contribute to acid rain, and the fire is really easy to 
maintain.  I went with a hand crank blower, because my lifestyle is much 
too sedentary, and it's extra exercise.


I'm pretty impressed with the forge.  There are lots of plans out there 
for home brew forges, but I never got around to building one.  This is a 
good design, and it works rather well.


I made my first tool today.  It's a small V-shaped shovel for removing 
hot coals from this forge, so I can put it to bed when it's time to 
quit, instead of leaving the forge out to face the possibility of 
getting rained on.


These days, I'm much more excited about building things with my hands 
than doing computer stuff.

Ouch! Commiserations with young miss Felix.

Of course, family comes first.

For my part, I just got away from music and computers for awhile.  I 
spend most of my time working on an old truck or playing with my new 
forge.  I have no plans beyond eventually looking into that bug Ted 
reported a month ago, but I'm still around.

  I'm near the end of a rewrite of the Audio Mixer Window.  You can 
find it over on github:

  However, my daughter just broke her wrist, so I don't have a lot of 
time for rg right now.  Should be back soon.
