Randy Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Well, it's that time again. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and a happy, healthy and prosperous new year. May you be bad enough that your stocking is full of coal and your anvil face is never rusty for want of a job. Thank you all for your friendship, help and encouragement. I've attached a few photos in keeping with the season and our mission. Keep the Sparks A'Flying! as you have fun! Randy McDaniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 May your shops all stay warm and dry, may your clinkers be astoundingly small; may you all get time off from the celebrations to go have fun at the forge and may your kids and grandkids show interest in the craft! Merry Christmas Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
