Glenn Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 25 minutes in length that follows 3 apprentices forging their own designs. Well presented and interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WmHorus Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I thought it said they had 3 days from start to finish. Interesting show though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forging-fool Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Ed's Chair won the series jointly with the piece from the ceramics show. They had two weeks in the forge with me, as I said I could not get them up to speed in just one week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WmHorus Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 ok, so it was longer than I thought they said, still interesting though looked a bit cramped, You did a good job though all things considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Sculpture Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Great show, its neat that their inexperience could be overcome and the wonderful works of iron could be produced in that short of time, really speaks highly for your ability to mentor a student, nice shop as well.

clinton Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Nice work, that had to be a challenge to get done with the experience level and the tight quarters of the shop. Nice shop and I also enjoyed the yard art you have there, all the old farm implements and stuff. This would be on my list of things to see in Ireland along with a tour of the Jameson factory.

mtforge Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Very nice. It was interesting to see the ideas evolve as they start working the metal. You must of been all over working with them and keeping them in one piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forging-fool Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Thanks for all your comments. It was a challenge but it was made easer by the fact that all three of them were very interested in forge work and they were all hard workers. That being said I was very tiered at the end of it all.
