There was always something that needed to be forged, so they built their own forge at Ånholm. When building boats, there was always some iron or bolts to be made, for example, there was a pine tree outside the forge with a round hole in it, where they bent exhaust pipes for the boat engines, first the pipe heated red in the forge, then out and bend. They made sledges, spikes for kickstands, etc., etc. The forge was bricked, a fan was installed underneath, which was pulled by stepping on a pedal.
