Hi Tom,

I think another caveat might be that the Toolbox meteorite needed to
be used "as is" rather than pounded into a more desired shape. Just a
thought that knocks the wind out of a thousand years of irons.

If you cannot grow it, you must mine it. Unless, that is, you want to
wait around for it to fall from the sky.

Oh, and regarding the fern-based hat holder, I think I could find
plenty of enjoyment having a hot desert dinner plate displayed here.

Best,

Martin
