wait, you can help the helve hammer? nice touch!

wind died to a crawl, watching the helve hammer swing at a snails pace was excruciating, not too mention the bloom was about to get too cold.. got an idea, 'could i help it along?', its on an anvil right. switch over to my hammer, see the outline of blocks, and sure enough i can assist. granted i usually stick to knocking off slag, or extra pieces when its fully shaped, rather than risk screwing something up, but i was able to move blocks along while making a plate, and work the bloom into an ingot. all the normal anvil things.

very nice touch. i was honestly expecting to break something when i tried it. ruin the bloom it was working on by even trying, but nope. worked fine.

You can just about triple the helve's speed by doing this, yup. Take just the big chunks of slag off an iron bloom, or a few heavy hits when a plate is starting out, then move to your other anvil while the helve fills in the corners
