Some of you may be familiar with my hobby, but for those who don't know in August of 2017 I set up a forge in my shed.
In less than a year, I have gone from a rail track "anvil" and trying to beat a piece of warm steel into my first pair of tongs, into actually having something that resembles a real blacksmith shop (with a real anvil now) and having active orders for knives and some other things.
So this is sort of a journal to show my hobby that I enjoy so much and hopefully provide some enjoyment for you as you browse the photos and posts. If something I do interests you, you can contact me at sfeile@yahoo.com.
Here are a few of the things I've done so far.
(The rack, not the pans. )
