[SEL] Blacksmith building done....

[Arnie Fero]

Hiya Curt,

Yer well on the way here dude!!  Ya know what you need to add?  A small
power, a couple of rod lines, and a couple of pump jacks.  Now you've got
a running engine and that wonderful creaking and squeeking to add to the
music.  Damn, you've got me getting all weepy here.  8-))

See ya,  Arnie
