Forge-Anvil-Hammer and Iron

Forge-Anvil-Hammer and Iron along with the BLACKSMITH...the possibilities are endless.
Leonard would call blacksmithing, "working iron" and any time Leonard witnessed anyone involved in welding/iron working, Leonard would praise the worker with "get it! get it! work that iron!"
A praise inherited from Leonard's Blacksmith Father P.H. De Leon.
