Mobilization of Workers

The workers exchanged looks.

That statement alone was enough to tell them this wasn't another ordinary forge contract.

Hollen looked around the room.

"You heard him. If Master Ernest says it's important, then it's important."

A few of the older smiths chuckled.

At this point, nobody inside the forge questioned Ernest's strange ideas anymore.

The soap business had cured them of that habit.

Ernest immediately began assigning tasks.

"Johan, Markus, I need the two of you working on the wooden patterns."

The two pattern makers nodded.

Pattern making was the first step of any serious casting project.

No pattern.

No mold.

No casting.

Ernest opened his notebook and flipped to another page.

"The machine frame will be twelve feet long."

Several workers raised their eyebrows.

That was larger than expected.
