    A block of Beeswax. I heat the metal slightly when I finish and run the block over it to coat it. It gets a rub down with a clean rag. It smells amazing as long as it is not too hot that it burns the wax.

    Thanks for that heavy iron engine fix for the day Jack. I was back at the anvil at 6 am this morning. I should have this project finished soon.

    Getting the caffeine in a little late this morning. I stayed in bed until 7! It is time to get going on cutting some more Ash today. My kids and I also need to cut some grass late this afternoon. The camp is going to need a haying if we don't. Very cool pics fishingpol and Jack Straw!

    A picture I thought you guys would like from this morning. I thought the cavernous area and the way the walls, roof and beams are laid out, it makes this grain storage bunker look more like a cathedral.

    Well this antler coat rack piece is done. It is a milled walnut crotch plank with spike antlers and forged hanging eyelets and bands. They was a lot of fitting the iron over the antlers to wrap them close.

    A special thanks to a particular member here for sending the antlers. This is going to my buddy at work for a house warming gift. It will be going out the door pretty quickly, and I won't get to enjoy it.

    Lunch and dinner down here. The cooler temps will mean we will start spending more time down here.
