hahah definetly. in the summer we hit around 122 F, so not the best time to forge unless you have lots of water, beer and will.
🤣

You probably save on forge fuel tho. Just put the steel out in the sunlight for a few minutes and it's near forging temp.
I lived in Yuma 5 years back in my Marine Corps days.

Thanks a lot, was thinking in joining for a few months, im a Quality engineer by trade, so the "degree" or competence by an association or a society is quite important.
