Default Art on Fire
Last weekend we attended the Art on Fire event. It was our first public appearance as a blacksmithing organization. It went quite well considering we were competing with the Air show in Anchorage and the Scottish games in Eagle River. 300-350 visitors.

The first pic is my demo set up. There is a sheet metal wind screen on top of the forge. It wasn't till later I discovered my official photographer wifey didn't get any shots of me with a fire lit. Once the iron started flowing . . .

The last shot was just too good to pass up. Tougher in Alaska you know.

That looks like it was a blast, Frosty. Except the peeing fire part, that was just plain funny!

how much iron did you actually pour? what was the make up of what you put in the furnace?
Pretty cool!

Hey Frosty,

Great shots!

Tell your friend - when you starting whizzing molten metal, he's probably past the point where the usual drugs will help . . .

Nice looking pour - looks like you guys got it down!

Great detail in the final product. Tell us about the significance of the design.
