Temporary

A kind of temporary forge area. I heat metal on the bricks and work at it on the anvil next door. The cup in the water has holes drilled in the bottom. I can scoop water on to the end of the work to keep it cool enough to hold while I heat the other end with the torch. Just tipping water on doesn't work as well as it skids off too quick. One handle is about done here, the other is yet to be twisted and bent.
