Well accustomed to the routine by now, Kyonos looked forward to each day. He liked the daily routine including the Arcana. As he was building up the fire in the hearth, the Dwarf wondered what he would be doing today. When Gimli came in, he nodded to Kyonos and said, "Today I want you to make spades. Uniformity in the size is not important but I want them to be close to the same size." That said, he set down a spade for Kyonos to use as model.
The Dwarf took a piece of metal, heated it and hammered it to a relatively uniform thickness and then shaped it. Heating it again, he hammered an indentation for the handle. That done, he put a bit of an edge to the tip of the spade. Once satisfied with it, Kyonos repeated the process with anotherpiece of metal. By the end of the day, there were a pile of spades. When he was ready to knock off, Gimli came over, checked each spade and then nodded his approval.
Another day of training completed by Kyonos.
