So, I was able to get the video put together with footage from my own camera and then more footage supplied by Marc Sitkin.  

the Shop is the Moses Wilder blacksmith shop in Bolton, MA it was reconstructed from the original prints that OSV  (Old strubridge villiage) made when they tore down and rebuilt the shop at the villiage as part of the Museum. 

Of course this reconstructed one is like new..  The owner did s stellar job on all of it.. Crazy really. 
 

 

I watched the video a couple of hours ago. Was cruising you tube and was pleasantly surprised to see your vid pop up. Love watching you work and I always learn. Truly a pleasure. Thank you

Jennifer's going to be teaching at ABANA 2020 this summer. Working with her in person is even better!

thanks John.   Very kind of you to say.  

CGL  I was pleased with how the video came out.  I had edited the footage I had a week or so ago so was thankful the footage arrived at the right time and was able to put it all together. 

Merry Christmas to ya'll.  

I think you just filled all of your class time! They will be standing in line to get a class.  Merry Christmas.

So here is video number 2.. I thought I had posted it here but I guess not. 
 

 

Here is the chisel after burnishing and I pulled the handle because I didn't like the washer so when I went to make the hole a little bit larger it snapped.. (wrought iron) so had to make another wrought iron washer..  

This was supposed to be a carving chisel but I wanted one a little heavier..   It's a sharp and handsome chisel.  

here is the EAIA version as well..  If you guys want to see more of me..
