03:22 AM rue_mohr: your doing a really odd thing, I just took a water tank and lined it
03:22 AM zhanx: k
03:22 AM zhanx: so math is mine
03:22 AM rue_mohr: you want a forge like for black iron work?

03:27 AM zhanx: i am doing a |\o/| with the / being 15 degrees
03:27 AM rue_bed: ok
03:27 AM zhanx: the o is the air pipe with coal on top
