Took a break from black smithing to build some new armor

This is what you can do with several hundred plastic plates and some paracord.

I'll Be At The Spring Craft Fair in Cloquet,MN Tomorrow Saturday 04/11/15 It's at the Armory

You got to have hooks if you're a blacksmith.

These are my most popular size.

Chris at the Superior Tack show please email me. I wrote down your email incorrectly.

Is the frying pan we were talking about around the size of my big pan?

I'll be at the Diamond Royal Tack Horse Fair this Saturday. It's in the Mariner Mall in Superior, WI from 9-5 March 28th

Cloak pins hot off the forge.

My hammering arm is sore from all the work I've been getting done in preparation for the upcoming horse show.   I've got spits for small game and chickens.  Plant hangers , lots of fire pokers,  cloak pins and tack hooks galore.   I hope to see you there!

I survived the journey to and from the desolate Southlands

Sorry about the not posting bit.   I have been to the southlands and have had to set up a shop down there.  I have been busy getting stock made for the upcoming season.  I did a few custom projects for some friends.

Custom drinking horn holder with refill holder.  Also it has a hook for your lantern.

Next up is a stake puller for the long stakes you use on medieval pavilions.  It is about 30 in. long and made out of 1/2 square stock.

Happy Yule and a Merry Christmas

I hope everyone has a calm and mellow Holiday.  I hope all the stuff I made that was purchased for Christmas gifts goes over well.  Thanks to everyone who help me get this enterprise up and running.  Eat way too much and enjoy yourself, I plan to.

Saturday Night Not Spent At The Bar

I've been trying to find a design of bottle opener that I find pleasing to my eyes.  I think there will be a lot of proto-types on this project.

Here is a close up of a cloak pin made with square stock and hammered to give it some light catching facets.
