Glad to hear that all is well on the homestead and that family is safe! This is next level work my good sir! I have a co-worker/friend that I talk to daily. I know he is good with metal working as a hobby. And, it's just my ignorance but I legit thought that when you first posted this thread that it was pure blacksmithing type work.

I totally thought you had a forge, an anvil, hammer and a tub of cool water. Again, I know nothing when it comes to working with metal. In talking with my buddy it sounded like there are not too many blacksmiths left as the technology today makes the metal fabrication process easier than beating/shaping a piece of heated metal. And that Blacksmithing today is more viewed as an art. After getting some education on what it takes - still this looks like it is difficult work. I definitely applaud you! Looking forward to seeing more of this come together!
