You can get a lot of calgarypucking done though when you're waiting for your piece to come back to temp.

Unless you live somewhere somewhat rural you're going to annoy the piss out of your neighbours though, and it's incredibly dirty, even if you don't use coal in your forge.

I'd never even consider it without a power hammer. It's gotta reek havoc on your wrists.
