Gene/Ann, how big is Gene's ingot? From the picture shown on 'Magnetic' page 3, it looks as if it is about 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter, and about the same in hight, but what is the weight?
Somewhere I saw that the ingots were made in two sizes, one size big enough for one sword blade and another size big enough for two blades, but from what Ann writes, they must have been made in many different sizes.
