The new furnace has been installed and is confirmed to be operational. A test molding of five gallons AGHG was completed without incident, and the die cast used for this test utilized no more than half of the furnace's maximum holding capacity. The assigned Artisan was introduced to us and attended the furnace initialization, and proceeded to conduct some engraving detailing on some of the molded items after they were cooled. At room temperature, he is able to engrave a line of six inches in length and one half inch in depth within fifteen minutes. The subsequent sharpening test was performed on 24 square inches (two one inch wide segments of one foot each) upon a segment of one half inch thickness, with each side sharpened at a 14 degree angle; the estimated completion time was thirty minutes. With current equipment, the manufacture of one standard military grade sword from AGHG could take at least two days, and the possibility of more ornate features would demand weeks of labor. Clients are advised to keep orders simplified and as basic as possible to ensure maximum expedience in production. On the subject of the Artisan being introduced to the ground, W1 suggests that further personnel additions should only be made with the full unanimous consent of all current residents.  The provision of personal information to review beforehand would ensure proper evaluation and facility security. None of the members present stated any objection to this proposal.

Request is here filed to have bladed weapons forged with AGHG material to properly form the handle into the user's hand and allow the rest of the material to form the hilt and blade. Tests will be conducted later today on the hypothesis that a sanguine deposit from the user would need to be applied to the second state of the object, with which the metal will use as an attraction and basis point when changing states. Previous state change tests were made with items that had no specifically set end point, so the necessity to test this hypothesis was not previously present. Observations made in previous tests indicate this hypothesis has potential to be confirmed, but caution will be stressed on the user to keep his hand ready to respond to the state change process in order to reduce the possibility of self injury. Tests will be conducted on the amount of deposit required to have the desired effect, as too little may not give a strong enough attraction basis for AGHG to perfom as desired, and too much of a deposit may delay the state transition process or allow for a greater chance of self injury due to greater surface exposure. Testing will also be done using gloves of various materials to see if direct contact with flesh will be required for desired functionality, though all present are assuming that such contact will prove to be necessary.

Day 248 of long-term observation of AGHG exposure has still yielded no change in amount of material present.
