Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

For cold work, you need a hammer and some hard object. That's it. Anvil, swage block, piece of rail, random scrap steel, or even a hard rock. That's it. It's really not expensive at all, unless you're buying a whole bunch of brand new unnecessary stuff.
I started out with a rail-anvil I bought for $67, a few hammers and peens for $40, tongs for $20, and a forge for $140. That was more than enough to get started. If you live somewhere that that's a lot of money, you probably also have a guy in the area who does similar work and has extra tools, and your biggest expense will be fuel for hot work.
We live in a world where hundreds of millions of people are literally starving, dude.
We're on a forum to talk about video games, where the entry price is about the same as what that person just listed out.
Someone should gift them all copies of Baldur's Gate 3 so that they too can experience the premier sound design in the latest installment from Wizards of the Coast® Dungeons & Dragons™.
