Heavy metal

We've been clearing out Gran's garage and I decided to set up my own forge to make new and exciting things from pieces of scrap metal we found. So far all I've managed to make is noise ... lots of noise!

"Life's a forge! Yes, and hammer and anvil, too! You'll be roasted, smelted, and pounded, and you'll scarce know what's happening to you. But stand boldly to it! Metal's worthless till it's shaped and tempered! Face the pounding, don't fear the proving; and you'll stand well against any hammer and anvil."
