What is Thunderbolt Forge?

While I was still in High School, I decided to make a sword. I went to the library and read everything I could about swords, knife making, blacksmithing. Not long after that I built a coal burning forge - hand cut grey limestone with a steel firepot. My brother obtained an anvil for me. I mounted the anvil on the stump of an ash tree that had been struck by lightening and susequently destroyed. A friend of mine decided to name my smithy Thunderbolt Forge.
