I would suggest contacting the new york designer blacksmith group. They have a chapter in the buffalo area.

Was doing a demo shoeing years ago and threw a hot shoe on the ground to cool. some dad who was watching went over a picked it up and dropped in same motion. I asked him if he had seen enough. he didnt say anything.

Frosty ive got too many holes in my shirts and have had a fair share of pokes from the wire brush not to take note when its being done. I finally bought an apron that covers me front from neck down to knees. prior to that i used my old farriers apron the saved my legs but not much more.

just watched loneronin's video. nice anvil , cleaned up great. just wish he had a bit more protection besides shorts, dust mask and gloves.

yesterday i started to unpack my shop. it has been packed and stored for 3 years while having a new job and moving. i wont move a shop again. had 6 boxes that were rescued out of a dumpster that were actually shelves that someone tossed, they made perfect packing boxes and yesterday i set them back up as shelves. took all afternoon but happy the way they turned out. had to unload one before could mount it so everything got handled at least twice.

go to the nearest crossing. there should be a sign on the signal post the gives the name of the railroad and an emergency number to call. I wouldn't call the emergency number but the names of the railroad will start you in the right direction. it should be a blue sign about a foot square.

you and your daughter should both be very proud, usnavy 58 - 62

A two wheeled hand truck is almost a gotta have for a shop. makes moving anvils and other heavy things a lot easier.

I will be there.

not hammer. looks like a drift to me.

European farriers use a tool similar to this instead of hoof nippers. also some times used for trimming oxen feet.

On the weekend of May 17/19 the New York Designer Blacksmiths are holding the spring all hands meeting, there ius also one in the fall. This is being held at the Arc and Flame center just outside of Rochester. There you can meet a lot of local folks and most likely several from the Syracuse area. The demonstrator is Kim Thomas. I would highly recommend attending this session. You will be able to join the group and watch and ask questions.
