    Here's some pictures since I still don't know how to copy the links on my new phone!

    The fire clay that we speak of!

    The mortar mix from Lowe's I am assuming is probably the same thing as the fire clay. I'd check into it just in case.

    Thanks! Here are some more.. I don't consider this to be blacksmithing.. Just something I've been teaching myself the past 6 months.. The 4 shooting stars sold for $100.00 but I only asked for $75.00..

    It may not be "blacksmithing", but fine work.

    Unless all the tables and the stool wobble.
    :rofl: :lol:

    Then it's ''OK" work.
