THE TOOLS
IS THERE ANYTHING COOLER THAN HAVING YOUR OWN personal FORGE FOR A WEEK?
I submit there is not. Coming in a strong second, however, was getting to use four different blowtorches. ...FOUR.
THE PROJECT
Forging a handle out of iron, hammering and slicing a copper disc, filing and blowtorching and sandblasting and acid-washing and stoking the fire and striking while the iron is hot and so so so much coal dust... All that to make a copper saute pan that I'll probably never use because it's too precious.
Seriously one of the greatest things I've ever done.
