Been a bit since I posted some work. Haven’t had as much time in the shop smithing as I’d like. Hammers, branding irons Dutch oven lid holders and Dutch oven lid lifting tongs. Life is good.

Had a good smithing day last week with Keith Glaab. First full smithing day in the shop this year. It felt good!

Whew! I can’t believe the BS shop has been down for almost three months. Originally I had planned on a month shutdown to get a few mechanic jobs out of the way. Between dozer repairs, rail car repairs and just route maintenance on some of the ranch equipment, time flew by. There was also a last minute trip to Hurricane thrown in for fun. The BS shop is open and I’m currently working on a new twisting machine. I should have some photos on that later this week.

Fun day visiting at Wee Little Forge yesterday. Turtles and mice were on the menu. My first time using an induction forge to do the work. Always a good time hanging out with friends Bill Gangwer and Keith Glaab!

Finally got around to a project I’ve been wanting to do for several years. We run a wood burning stove pretty much 24/7 in the winter around here. Usually the first project in the morning for me is to get the stove kicked and going good. Often I have to split some of the kindling into smaller pieces so it starts better. I’m always afraid I’m going to damage the bricks when I’m doing this on the hearth. So I finally finished this little splitting block to set beside the stove. Oregon Black Oak, strapped and decorated with some leaves I smithed out of 3/8 round bar. Fun fact, the small hatchet shown in one of the photos was smithed by my maternal grandfather. I get to remember him almost every morning in the winter when I use it.

A couple items this afternoon for the upcoming holiday. Inspired by Wee Little Forge.

A charcuterie board holder! A couple weeks ago I didn’t even know what a charcuterie board was. A fun project where I got to be a little creative and build something for a dear friend.

Just a few recent projects and activities.
