Mark Emig Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Here's a forge hood made by Bobby Hansson-way cool. I had to clean out his shop-selling his tools-he's ill and in a nursing home-but, I saved this for my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Emig Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 Bobby is a way talented dude, and it did look awesome with the fire going in the mouth. It's pretty rusty, so I can't use it in my forge, but it'll be a cool wall hanger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Mark those might be the eyes and nose he made in my class thirty odd years ago. He won best art piece of the week with it here at Peters Valley back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Emig Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 That'd be pretty wild. I'll bring it to Ashokan next week for you to take a better look at it-maybe you can tell. Went and saw Bobby today-not a good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNewman Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 He was teaching a course years ago at Touchstone while I was taking a course taught by Tom Latane there. He is quite a character, I enjoyed the couple of evenings a couple of the blacksmiths spent having a beer with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
