just got back from dan boone's party..very entertaining demonstrator and it alway a treat to see dan and his family...I'm not sure if I saw any of you guys there( i am new to this forum) but here are some pics

jeremiah..most every thing was done under the power hammer(BB) with various dies..as for the finish 80 grit and a lot of elbowgrease and wax..gas forge..

amazing..I'm speechless

thats what its all about man...your shop looks great..beautiful setting..

bentiron...yes almost everything was done under the powerhammer..there were a bunch of 1" square pieces about 12" long in the drop bin(give or take an inch or two)..so i heated them up & started munchin'.

we work 4 days a week . so fridays the crew is allowed to use the shop if they want.. a good time to practice and experiment. I am going to dan boone's so I figured I would make some things for iron in the hat. just thought I would share with ya'll.

Austin community college at one time had a great blacksmithing program..its been long time I think they still do.

hello folks..new to this forum . hope to be able to learn and contribute to this site. looks like there is great knowledge here.
