The poor blacksmith's son, who had no choice but to take up his father's vocation, spent every day by the pedestal/anvil. Sadly, he had a metal-allergy, so he spent every night putting ICE on his hives…

4) [icamonkey] 30-7-2009(11): One secret used in metallurgy is to have a ice pedestal, in case you burn your butt.
