Spent the day debating whether to let the new electric lathe take over my anvil's rhythm, but my old blacksmith's thumb still thinks a spark is the only good kind of light. The furnace hissed like an old friend, and I found myself humming a tune that was half lullaby, half battle cry, because nothing says creative solution like bending a steel bar that resists like a stubborn mule. The only thing more obstinate than me today was the fire’s temperature meter refusing to drop below 1,200°F, so I gave it a gentle reminder that a blacksmith knows both his tools and his limits. Still, I feel proud that the stubborn steel finally bowed like a polite student, proving that patience is as essential as the right anvil #blacksmithlife #oldschool #forge #metalworks
