Way, way back Wednesday. I was cleaning my shop today and found this guy. I made this thing for a character like 14 years ago. No forging, all just welding, drilling and grinding. I'm still out of commission with this cold thing so I'm still behind on orders, sorry to everyone who's waiting on stuff. And sorry to the students I've needed to reschedule the last 2 weeks. I'm really hoping to be back on the forge this weekend. #waybackwednesday #wbw #knife #bountyhunter #outsick #nuketheflu #killthecold #toomuchcoughing #nomoresnot https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp5THTCgYO-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bsa0i61rej6m

Last weekend I was asked to sneak my portable shop into a backyard to surprise a guy for his birthday. I had finished setting up right as they got back from breakfast. We had a blast forging some mild steel knives out. #blacksmith #blacksmithing #knifeforging #knifemaking #coalforge #birthday #suprise #happybirthday #workingintherain https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpmh9MJAwy9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=halt5uonkis1

I've had a blast teaching blacksmithing to so many cool people the last few weeks. Seriously can't get enough of it. If you're interested in trying your hand at smithing let me know! #blacksmithing #blacksmith #teaching #demonstration #knifemaking #toolmaking #handforged #handmade #familyfuntime #forge #coal #fire https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFeb4QgHG9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uzygw0b4esy7

After being cooped up with sick babies for 2 weeks it was a really nice treat to get out and teach yesterday. And these guys did a great job. I love seeing students make hooks! I especially enjoy watching the improvement from the first to the second. Forging is a unique process, but once you get your head around some basic principles its just natural and intuitive. #blacksmithing #blacksmith #forging #coalforge #teaching #instructing #alwayslearning #handforged #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo9U8pxgB5D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bpamtah21lmk

Couldn't bring myself to do any of the work I was supposed to do today, but I did get started on a wand rack.

Hand forged set of dice. I like how rustic these guys and the bag look.
