After making his flowing renditions of the desert plant the ocotillo in other ways, Kevin decides to fire up his coal-fired forge ... on a 106 degree day. He shares how the forge works, how he uses water to keep the fire running efficiently, how he bends the railroad spikes he uses to make the ocotillo branches in his anvil, and more.
