`  == Need a hand == Hello Peterkingiron, with that name you gotta know what I'm looking for. Here is my pbm. I know Nothing, with capital, about iron mining, melting, and whatnots that one does to it to get an iron bar. And (!) I engaged myself into translating into En. a French site about the ``ferrier`` (here we go, first word) described here: fr:Ferrier antique de Tannerre-en-Puisaye. (trnsltn is for a friend, nothing to do with paid work).   The ``ferrier`` is the pile of slag (? second word to check; for all I know it could just as well be called Clinker (waste) or anything else) left behind after iron has been removed from the ore (I think that's the right word, but I wouldn't mind your opinion on that one too). I've seen some ``ferriers`` in Wales, so there's gott o be a word for it. Would you know what it is? Do you know what I'm talking about? I mean, I'm sure you do, but am I clear enough? (I don't feel like it right now, talking about what I don't know.) I'll be very grateful if you can help me with these, and likely as not many other words about iron(iron-what? smelting? melting? other?). And thanks anyway for taking the time to answer me, or to give me a few clues so I can start knowing where to look. Cheers.  `
