    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.

    Nice to know we have a steel poet among us ! lol
    BTW cold forging is used to make connecting rods,spanners, etc
    and you can make anything from cold steel ,,that is relatively softer but had to be tempered for additional strength
    I have retired from fisheries,,,processing and exports!
