Shop Maintenance
A time for
fettling.

A three-or-so hour session wherein we put stuff in the smithy to rights.
We'll tweak tongs, straighten, re-temper, and sharpen punches and chisels, tighten and wax hammer handles, de-rust rusty tools, replace broken ones...

3-or-so hours.
If you want to show up early, work it out directly with Carl.    dates&times
