It's funny, we just had our New England Fall meetup and the one power hammer we had at the meet could possibly have been heated and forged in that beautiful beast of a hammer. The presenter using it was underwhelmed. Either way, that was an amazing trip and I'm thoroughly jealous.

That was fun. It reminded me of when I was 17 (in 1967!). My Step-dad worked in a small steel & fabricating company across the street from where we lived. My first job there was working with a hole punch. I sat on a chair with my foot on a larger pedal, and when I pushed down, a powerful steel punch would come down and punch a hole in a steel sheet. Later, I spray painted steel beems. One day, another employee wasn't paying attention and got two fingers chopped off in some kind of chopper. Cool summer job.

Thank you Keenan. Yes we are blessed. Practically every inch of the country is accessible through what we call "allemansrätten". No private properties and public trails. Just show respect and you can go anywhere. We have a lot of historical sites especially when it comes to the process of iron making, since that has been a huge part of our export for many years. Sadly there isn't enough means to maintain it all and often you have to rely on nonprofit work to keep them standing.
