"Are you ready to rock-n-roll?" Heck yeah! Let's do it. You make it look so easy, Matt. I also thought the polishing of the equipment was quite informative and not something most people would even include.

Super great info. I've never forged bronze, but I've destroyed aluminum in the forge.

I *have* destroyed bronze in the anvil by doing a couple of the things he says not to do. I also found the video useful.
