That moment my forge blower died mid-project in Des Moines last Saturday

I was right in the middle of forging a fire poker and the blower just gave out with a grinding noise. Had to finish the whole thing using just bellows and it taught me I rely way too much on electric air instead of just managing my fire better.

Bellows the whole rest of a forge project? That's insane. I can't believe you actually stuck with it instead of just packing up and calling it a day. Most people would have just quit and gone home the second that blower died. You must have some serious patience to sit there and pump air by hand for a fire poker.

lol it's a fire poker, not open heart surgery.
