Re: OT forge welding Re: [SGII] Modular Starship Terrain, for sale?

I do it by hand. A power hammer is one of the "Tim" tools I don't have
yet.
I use a small propane forge of my own construction, a hammer and a
anvil.
You can see my forge and photos of my shop at the SCA web link below. As
far
as being "fun" goes, working with my hands is very good at stress
reduction.
I have a bunch of hobbies (wood/metal working, gaming, underwater
photography, ect....) all designed to take me away from the "real world"
for
awhile.
