    And she used your video to 'forge' her own cross from clay - sorry for the sideways picture...
    It's a little rough but excellent for a 6 yr old!

    Didn't hurt that Bear also shipped her all the forging steps for reference.

    It would be cool to find someone who knows how to fire pottery and may some glazed ones :0)

    Thanks @Witch Doctor 01 ... I really enjoy working with it... although the gas and charcoal forges have their place as well... only used a hand crank Champion blower on my charcoal forges... bellows must be quite an experience :0) Got the induction for it's speed as well as the safety factors... shut it off and it's cold... not like the gas or charcoal :0)

    Love the Sloth "Family" :0)

    Yup learned to go slow and think things through... a purposeful and thoughtful approach always seems to work best for me :0) the results are often much better and multi faceted in their impact...

    You can learn a lot from that "slow thought sort of a monkey" :0)

    Thanks @Cruisin Sloth for the comment.
