thanks roger,
the library list is somewhat overwhelming.
i see some familiar names, some from our group here in arizona. others,
old friends from past ABANA conferences.
let me throw out another technic i've had some fun with. has any body
out there had any experience doing blow ups? i don't mean exploding
propane tanks. i'am talking about inflating sheet metal at red heat. i
first read about this in the anvil's ring. i think the article was eric

Elizabeth Brim is big on this.

For example, see the pillow.

I saw a video on the net somewhere of that being done as a demo. Maybe a
video about the metal museum in Memphis? Looks like it would be fun to
try. They were using low pressure compressed air, but I don't remember how
they attached the air to the pillow-shaped object they had made.
