"Alright," Max said. "Let's get started then. This is gonna take a few hours to shape it, then it's gotta cool down to where I can paint on it, then we gotta set the enamel. Might have to come back tomorrow to set the enamel. Takes me a long time to do enamel work to make it look good. I'll sketch out some charizard designs, let you pick the one you like best."

Max walked over to an area with several bins, and fished around in one of them until he found a bar of steel. He walked over to an unused forge (of course he had more than one, sometimes he had to have multiple temperatures going on at once) and set it down inside. "I need you to heat that up until it's white-hot. Don't melt it, though. If you let it melt, we gotta start over. I'm gonna get the right hammers and vise for this."
