John Martin Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I met for the first time with my blacksmithing teacher. Man, he is seriously euqipped, and the in the middle of the mayhem sits this 476lb anvil. He's got three power hammers, everything. Lol. Well, we made my first shovel today, as well as some leaves. I was there from 2-6, first two hours we just talked. Lol. Here is the end of a good day of learning: Pictures attached, that leaf makes its way through the pictures. His name is Michael Garrett, and he runs the Black Hammer Forge. He said he's a member on here, but I forgot to ask what his username is, so you might be able to find him. He is one amazing blacksmith, he does mostly ornamental work, but man does he do a really, really good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Right on John! Looks to be worth the 10 mile commute. I wish I knew someone with a power hammer within 10 miles. I'm happy for you. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
