“Forge Raisingâ€

[Cap'n Atli]

Saint Mary’s County, Maryland

Summer Work Session Objectives:

Primary objective will be the new forge building, with a secondary work party working with the power boat under Leonard. Anything else depends upon skill and imagination. (Please keep it creative and legal!)

Schedule:

Friday morning I'll be pulling supplies, so if you plan to come Friday, please come around noon.

Friday evening I will need to retreat to Grey Havens (400 feet away) to watch Amanda; drinks, snacks and light fireworks to follow.

Saturday seems to be the primary day; but there should be some work on Sunday, from about noon to 4:00.

Some sort of seafood feast, preferably with crabs (if affordable) is planned for Saturday night, we'll poll the crew.

Facilities:

Camping is available on site; and there are lots of motels in Lexington Park. We'll have shade, a tent fly, tables, chairs, drinking water and a porta-potty at the work site.

Tools:

No power yet, although we can plug-in over at Grey Havens; or if you have 400 feet of 12 ga. electric outdoor extension cord… Bring hand tools, and battery powered drills and saws could prove very useful.

Layout of the Farm:

Everything to the right of the dirt lane has been sold out of the family. I still have access top the old forge (“the stripping houseâ€

Im confused At.

Are you raising a forge...like a barn.....or raising in your forge?

[Cap'n Atli]

As unto a barn raising- I can't get those 12' wide trusses up by myself!

Once the new forge building is finished and powered-up we'll get back to raising metal to make armor so we can raze cities.

I fear it will be hot raising whichever way you do it!
