Have you ever been there— The office show lineup is due. Everyone sits in a circle: Who plays the boss in the skit? Who gets the sarcastic coworker? Which pairing actually has chemistry? You talk for half an hour, agree to “think about it,” and walk away with nothing written down. Or you are a film fan, about to rewatch a favorite title, turning one casting choice over in your head: What if someone else played the lead? Would the whole mood shift? You want to capture that recast idea, but the chat thread is already buried. Colicine is built for that: one film’s cast, one casting experiment that belongs to you. —— DISCLAIMER & ATTRIBUTION —— Colicine uses the TMDb (The Movie Database) API to retrieve film metadata, posters, cast lists, and performer search results for personal casting notes. This product uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb. Movie-related metadata and images remain the property of their respective owners. TMDb website: https://www.themoviedb.org/

About

Anvilrity

Features
Read full description

Anvilrity is a workshop companion for blacksmiths, bladesmiths and ornamental smiths. It keeps the records that decide how a piece turns out: what steel you used, how many heats it took, what temperature you quenched at and what hardness you measured. PROJECT JOURNAL Create a card for every piece with type, steel, technique, target dimensions and deadline. Work through a stage checklist from drawing out to final finish. Record each forging session with the number of heats, resulting dimensions and how the steel behaved. Track how the piece changes shape from raw stock to finished blade, attach progress photos, and keep client briefs and cost estimates alongside the work. HEAT TREATMENT RECORDS Log normalizing cycles, austenitizing temperature, soak time, quench medium, tempering schedule and measured hardness for every blade. Each record is drawn as a cooling curve against the transformation nose so you can see what the schedule actually did. FORGE CALCULATORS An interactive heat colour chart that maps incandescent colour to temperature. Heat treatment schedules for common carbon, alloy, spring, tool and stainless steels. Tempering colour guide from pale straw to grey blue. Steel mass and stock removal calculators. Forge welding window with flux selection. Bevel geometry with live cross sections. Edge angle tables by purpose. Fuel consumption and cost. Quench medium comparison with crack risk. STEEL AND TOOLS A library of blacksmithing steels with composition, forging range, hardening schedule, hardness and what each grade is actually good for. Inventory for bar stock, hammers, tongs, anvils, forges and grinders, with condition tracking and maintenance history. Consumables with low stock alerts, handle material comparison and a supplier directory. BLACKSMITH ACADEMY Twelve lessons across three levels, from steels and heat colour through heat treatment, blade geometry and handles to damascus, ornamental work, axes and shop economics. Each lesson has theory, a procedural diagram, the mistakes that ruin the work, and a five question test. A glossary of more than 280 terms, a daily craft tip with a streak counter, and a competency radar that shows where the gaps are.
