First off they weren't my crew at all. I know Pat Garley, he's a member of the Association of Alaskan Blacksmiths but this was more his show.

I believe this pour saw about 1,500lbs. poured.

The salvage iron was brake rotors and an old boiler plus various and sundry other small bits.

The one plaque I posted is a map of AK with Iron Trail and perhaps a serpent. I wasn't part of the casting gang so I don't know what all was cast. This one was (I think) a commemorative of the events so I posted it.

There was another plaque I took a picture of but it's for a local green house who made considerable donations to the project.

Very observant to notice the rail Chris. You did see the train behind it. Yes?

Thanks for posting the URL to the blog Steve, I hadn't seen it.

I'm only peripherally connected to these folk through Pat so I really don't know what all's going on.

I brought my fire suit but with the 10lb. restriction on my arm I figured I'd be more in the way than anything else so stayed clear. I could've made a mold but found myself too tied up getting my smithing gear set up and ready. Without the shop actually being set up, everything takes several times as long as it should.

It was a great time and there's talk of making it an annual event. There's also interest from the folk at the state fair so I may get another chance to play with liquid metal in a couple months. We won't know till Pat gets back from the pour on the 4th. in Kenai.
