"Why are you like this?!?"... "Reasons..." As good an answer as needed. Excellent work Capn'!!! I look forward to the many new projects that will come forth from the new ship shop. I do also look forward to seeing how your anvil stand serves you.

Look out. Companies are making black pipe lookalikes that are thinner walled and not actually useable as a pipe. They are designed to be only shelving with an industrial pipe appearance.

I have zero intention of ever blacksmithing, and this comes up in my reccomendations. I think, "A forge hood and anvil stand, you say? Let's see what you got, cowboy." Good stuff right there!
