Hammer and torch

Today went almost wholey to translation work, however I did pop downstairs for a quick session on the torch and hammer tapering and twisting more parts. As mentioned previously I have this gas saver thing that you rest the torch on when you are not using it and that shuts it off. There is a pilot flame, so when you need heat again, you pick it up and wave it past the pilot to light it up. I don't have a permanent forge set up, but this works OK for small stuff. Taking breaks from hammering to heat up is a reasonable rythm for the arms as well. You can't just keep hammering on indefinitely.
A bit of a work in progress, but nice to get back to scribbling again. If you look at the bottom photo from yesterday, you can pretty much paste me into the top right corner working at the bench.
