LDW Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I hung around with Brian this morning and took picks of day 1 of Dan starting his 5 day class. I was amazed at how he took to striking right away. I got some good pictures of a couple tools being made and I dont think I missed a step anywhere. Forgot to check with Brian to see if any of this was proprietary information, maybe I am just a little scared after reading the right to know thread. (maybe he should just quit taking students) I'm just kidding, I almost posted these pics on that thread. Dan did great as you can see, he was hesitant about getting his hammer up at first but after a few swings he was striking like a champ. Heres the pics, https://picasaweb.google.com/LDWynn/DanDay1WithBrian?authuser=0&feat=directlink Lyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Har Fisher Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Anyone know when Brian B. will be teaching at JCCFS or return to Fl. for a workshop? Love his work! You would definitely get your tuition"s worth in his class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Dean Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm going to Brain's, I'm going to Brian's!! Got my deposit sent this evening and will be there the last of April! After the Lee Brother's little shin-dig I told my wife I need to take some classes with Brian so I can learn to do this and that and so on and so forth. She stopped me and said; "You trying to sell me on the idea? Let's go! I'm all for it" So, to make the Missus happy, you know "happy wife, happy life" I started plannin. only 6 wks away!

Ted T Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thomas; I am a very rich and blessed man in that I truly feel a personal satisfaction and joy when I hear about when good things happen to other people! For you to train with Brian and LDW, that is good news!!! I believe that by placing yourself in the positive environment of Brian, Karen, and LDW there will be even more gained by all of you in addition to the impartation of the upper echelon of operational processes of forging steel. Thomas, it is also refreshing to hear about your wife that is as supportive to you as my wife is for me. I hope for all of you to have a valuable and beneficial time.

Thomas Dean Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 True all that Ted T. I know I keep mentioning Brian but honestly he and LDW are kinda like salt-n-pepper, bread n butter, steak n taters....they just go together. And you can't ask for any better to deal with than Karen! I have never met her but have 'talked' with her an several occasions in the past and it is always the same, very accomadating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McIntyre Knives Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 G'day Guys Once again magic pictures from Lyle, makes you feel like your there. Dan looks like he is all over it like a rash.(that is a good thing in case it does not translate) Five days of swinging like that and he will leave with his own blacksmith shop and know just how to use it. Thomas I can tell you, if you are excited now wait till you get there, it is just a blast. You could not be more right about Brian and Lyle they are peanut butter and jam, peas and carrots, Bacardi and Coke(sorry, loved the theme had to keep it going). Their individual skills are really fantastic, when you can see them together or have one point out nuances while the other forges it really comes home to you just what they are on about. Fantastic stuff. Cheers Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel.85 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Remember the size of the round stock? https://picasaweb.google.com/106506050631612810521/DanDay1WithBrian?authuser=0&feat=directlink&gsessionid=hhPI-BVvF2AeY6fRjA42sA#5716583037604685522 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDW Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 That is a piece of 2 inch round stock 1045 that was 4 1/4 inches long. Makes about a 3 1/2 pound hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! great pictures, looks like a blast. There is nothing cooler than making a tool, then making something with that tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
