Kaltenberg again -- mostly forge pictures
There was that brat pulling the bellows this time. For a brat, that was really hard work; the beam went askew with every pull, and that brat had to hang on with all his might to move the big bellows. It gave me ideas. There is a virtual brat that deserves pulling bellows for a while...
Look at the nozzle from the bellows, and the way it's attached to the forge from below.
The brat pulling even harder -- that is WORK!
They had this array of a bull's skull and an old axe. In the background: sometimes the forge helper had to hang on to the anvil so it doesn't move while something is wrenched around it.
That battle axe seems to have seen battle or something -- rusty, and with lots of dents.
Middle Asian steppe barbarian, or one pretending to be one...
An now, some cat pictures:
Kitties schnorgling on divan
More schnorgling
Fior such a cute little thing, Mephi is remarkably un-photogenic. He looks like a strangely stripey little monkey.
