primtechsmith Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Dan demonstrated for us last weekend...talk about some beautiful stuff. The dragon with the anvil in his mouth is what he donated to our June silent auction! I have over 100 photos in our gallery on the guild site of the steps and chisels... http://www.blacksmithguildofva.com Enjoy! Peyton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Thanks for sharing Peyton! I love the wrench dragon and would happily bid on the anvil in mouth dragon. I'll be checking the whole photo record out on your site after dinner. Do you mind if I save a series so I can maybe adopt and adapt the technique? No worries about me publishing them without asking you first but I'll probably show some of the guys here. Again, thanks for the brain teaser! Frosty the Lucky.

SteveW Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 That’s very inspirational work; I’m very impressed with the Dragons particularly the adjustable spanner one. It ticks many boxes, technically impressive and quirky at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianbrazealblacksmith Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Yep, that's Dan Boone. Thanks Peyton for the post. Dan is a very good smith and so is his son, Mike. I think he may even have other son's that are blacksmiths, but I've only met Dan and Mike. I understand that he is a decendant of Daniel Boone and that there are about 15 generations of blacksmiths in that family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fe-Wood Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 whimsical! Very clean work! I like it!!!! Thanks Peyton for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primtechsmith Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Frosty: That's cool with me. Dan is a descendant of Daniel Boone. They have a book out about the family. SOme of his family members are the ones who did a lot of the work for the Biltmore Estate, and also Colonial Williamsburg... Dan has two sons. Both are blacksmiths. Mike "Smyth" Boone, and Tom. Tome is still living close to home, and Mike is out in Colorado I believe. A couple of years back all three did a demo together. It was really great! Dan is one of the demonstrators at the ABANA Conference in Memphis this year. He will also do a lecture on getting into the craft shows and making money at it. Dan is a great guy, very humble, and just wonderful to watch work. Peyton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primtechsmith Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 I dug up some website for Mike and Tom if anyone is interested... Mike "Smyth" Boone http://www.booneshooks.com/boone.html Tom Boone http://www.boonesforge.com/ All of the Boones are really talented! And I have enjoyed learning for all three of them at one time or another! Peyton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Sculpture Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 A nice little one that was in a friend of mine collection. Looks like it was forged from 1/2" square, welded with a bit of magic, no doubt B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Trez Cole Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 it is interesting to see the work of the father and the sons and each of there style. Is the tong of the dragon an added piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesteryearforge Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I know Dan well He lives about 45 minutes away from me and has demoed here numerous times An Outstanding Smith and you would be hard pressed to find a nicer individual. Ive got several of his Dragons on different pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
