You continuously beat and bang the material at hand trying to mold it, trying to get it to match what you see in your imagination. Ever so slowly you submerge the final product in some water to gently cool it. You lift it from the water and it gleams brilliently in the light. Suddenly your creation SHATTERS into a million pieces some of which strike you causing some wounds. You sob sadly while you slowly pick up the remains and put them back in the forge. YIKES!!! Your mistake destroyed all your material!
