spring project #1

posted Thu, February 10, 2011 - 1:22 pm.

i am going to build a charcoal foundry. yup, gonna do it.

my good friend ross is going to join in the fun as we attempt, and hopefully succeed, in building our own foundry based on this book i bought ‘Charcoal Foundry (Build Your Own Metal Working Shop from Scrap Book 1)’. it is the first in a series of seven books all building upon the previous book on your quest to build your own metal working shop. the book was cheap, it sounds fun and since i’m 99% convinced that we’ll soon be living in a dystopian, ass-backwards world it won’t hurt to have a foundry on hand. right?

i’m not so interested in following through on all seven books, but if our experience with book 1 ends up working i could see myself going a few books in to see how much we can accomplish. the main goal, for me, is to come out of it being able to use the foundry to cast an army of stormtroopers. anything beyond that is pure gravy.
