This Month

Yes, before you ask, I have made more stuff.  Lots of people ask me to make things for them as soon as they find out my topic is blacksmithing. They ask me for things ranging from knives to bracelets, but this past month I have had to put them on the back burner. I am mentoring at the Kellogg house heritage museum in Santa Ana. Instead of working on metal this week we decided to work on with wood. We decided to extend the roof out over a platform right next to the shop. This area would be covered by a ceiling but still outdoors because there will be no walls so the roof is more like an awning. On this platform we plan to build a new forge. This new forge will still be coal fead but instead of being on a raised platform it will be on a brick forge. Too make this all possible we needed to have lots of wood for the ceiling, so this past month we have painted quite a bit of wood. I will post pictures below.

PS: I have also completed my square punch and leaf key chain.
