I went to pick up mail today to find a very pleasant surprise! This is from a recent bladesmithing student that worked with me.

Thank you, Tim!

By Jove, I think I've got it!

Almost finished with 5 new forges (4 shown) for FABA - Florida Artist Blacksmith Association. They just need a few finishing touches; tong/hammer racks, adjustable legs, blowers, and electric switches. They should be finished by Saturday.

They're stacked here as they would be for storage in the FABA teaching trailers. Leaving a couple of legs in the sleeves keeps them from shifting while the trailer is in motion, or if someone bumps into them while they're stacked in the shop.

This octopus was started at the annual conference of Mississippi Forge Council, then brought home to put the finishing touches on it. It's on its way to the new owner today, but here's a look at it.

We just got home last night from Mississippi Forge Council's annual conference, where I led classes on Friday and Sunday, and demonstrated on Saturday.

I had a GREAT time! It was an intimate, friendly conference, and I made a bunch of new friends. Y'all that didn't come missed a good time!

Thanks to my hosts at MFC, Palmer Robbins and Lon Wimberley for the good company and good food. The shop where we held classes is well set up, and though the metallurgical coke took some getting used to, it performed well!

I've been experimenting after seeing an interesting pig forging on the interwebz. Now the pigs are running rampant in the shop.
