[Kyonos Weatherstone]

The next day Kyonos wondered what he would be making. He rather enjoyed smithing and took pride in the things he made. The Dwarf was determined to produce only high quality items. His early mornings were routine by now, eat, practice elementalism, go to the B&D Anvil, start the fire and work on putting the shop in good order. When the fire was up to par, the Dwarf paid attention to keeping it at a constant level of heat.

As usual, Gimli showed up right about the time the fire was ready and steady. This time he said, "We are running low on metal straps for the riding surface of wagon wheels. Check the width and thickness of those already made and make a lot more. This time I want you to work fast once you get the hang of making uniform metal straps. It's high time that you join in getting our inventory back to where it used to be."

The task was relatively simple but he needed to work fast this time. He hammered a length of metal to the proper thickness and width, then proceeded to repeat this several times. He got the work done a bit faster each time. Then he went to a smaller size and found that he was able to restore the stock in a shorter time. Finally he went to the smallest size and made short work of the task. Gimli nodded his approval and went off to do his own smithing, leaving Kyonos to do more restoration of the shop.
