Well it is bigger than the biggest I've ever seen, but I've never seen one, so I am probably not a good judge.
To be honest I am in awe of the talents of the people on this forum.

Decided to line the furnace with a newly imported product meant to protect against the borax and have had to wait for it.
Whilst waiting i got bored so i went to someone else's workshop and forged some damascus.
This bar was not done with the power hammer but a little press, obviously got it there but took a bit longer, you cannot see all the layers but there is 180 of them obviously not cleaned up either. It is now time to add to the pattern to make it more than just a random pattern

Gas lines are on front shelf fitted and inside painted. Just a bit of work to do to the stand and it will be ready to go.

Yes, if I remember tomorrow I will take a pic of the wizard headed fire shovel and his 2 dragon headed fire pokers if I can find them.
There is heaps of masonry points and gads hanging around to.
