It was spacious, a workshop designed for mass production. Gob hoped inwardly that Ferdil wouldn't subject them to the grueling task of working in an iron workshop.

Ferdil approached a huge wooden locker.  The moment Gob became aware Ferdil knew Yart,  he looked at him differently. With a lot more respect.
