COOOOOOOL!!!!!!! Have you procured the adequate number of slaves needed to run those bellows yet? I have heard that it's a bit tougher now to buy slaves then in the past. I guess there is alot more red tape to go through now and it takes much more time.

Who needs slaves when so many volunteers would be willing to work just to be in on the melt. Who is gonna be on the crew Yule?

Did you get a chance to do some smelting? Results? Pics of scantily clad bellows-girls?




They finally lifted our burn-ban, so I can mess around with some smelting now! I finally got everything together, made a couple hundred pounds of charcoal...and we've been under a burn ban for two months!

I think the snow would make a perfect backdrop for some leather and fur bikini-clad Viking bellows girls!
