Serious bummer,a devastating shop-fire,John Nicholson's forge...:(

Terrible deal,guys...No lives lost,and that's about the only good thing about this.All kinds of tools,all the equipment and hammers and presses.John's entire livelyhood.He's a brilliant smith,and an air-hammer expert and repairman...And a super decent, humble guy...

So sorry to hear this. Having seen how this devastated my friend Larry Langdon when his forge burned I feel real empathy for John. I hope he has good community support.

It's terrible,man......And a very apt analogy to poor Larry's,very much the scope of the calamity...His entire livelyhood,and i don't even know how many machines there were something that he was working on for other people...
And yes,i hope so too,that the community there will come together...

Hope he was insured. Even then it is going to hit hard.
