I was always interested in learning about blacksmithing; my grand-dad was a wizard with a torch, a welder, and an anvil and hammer, but he decided that "you boys" [my dad, my brother and I were ALWAYS "you boys" to him] didn't need to know anything about that stuff...I guess he thought he'd live forever or something.

But I never forgot what he said when he found me trying to shape a piece of metal with a hammer and anvil, without the benefit of heat...he said, "Son, there's an old sayin' you oughta learn: You go straight to hell for cold blacksmithin'." Of course, that didn't stop me from trying it; it just kept me from doing it when I'd get caught.
