Tomorrow, the heat wrench comes out. The big one. There will be fire, smoke, and cursing. Not necessarily in that order.
I bet the ten-ton porta power will be out, too. Hydraulic fluid under extreme pressure, and fire, a winning combo.
(Remember kids, do not do this at home. Or ANYWHERE. I used to be a professional, and am still more professional than the current batch of "pros". My backyard shop has first aid kits, including trauma kit, eye wash station, fire extinguishers, and shit like that.)

@jack_daniel

i know you'll be taking all precautions, so have a great time!

i couldn't have predicted how much i'd enjoy silver smithing, turning metal cherry red, pounding the shit out of it, cooking it again, etc. so cathartic.
