Did a check on the forge yesterday after a ton of rain and was glad to see it was all bone dry. Hurrah! Have a project lined up for a baby shower prize. Oh and we had a kid in August. 💁🏻♂️

El domingo empieza «La Mayor» o en USA Big Game.
Un jabalí me espera en algún sitio, por delante quedan muchas horas de monte y muchos kilómetros andando, las posibilidades en el rececho son escasas pero merecerá la pena cada segundo en el monte.

However in the interim, I HAVE been building a ton of Lego stuff. Gotta keep the creative brain alive in the heat.

It’s been 3 arduous months not smithing & being stuck indoors while the earth sizzles in the AZ sun. Sucks having an outdoor forge. But once it cools down, I will be back at it.

Been crazy windy the past few weeks and we’ve got a lot of fire threats, not conducive to forging. Hopefully soon I can get back to my projects. SO close to finishing my first pair of tongs.

Been busy with work/school, but almost have a pair of tongs forged out. Pics soon!

Anyone else have a day job that is completely different from smithing? #SchoolSocialWorker

The mrs was creepin’ me working the other day. I’m a sucker for candid photos.

Is there are more frustrating feeling than getting all set up and get the forge lit only to hear that familiar sound… the sputtering puffs of an empty propane tank? 🫠

Man, I had a fun weekend! I finally FINALLY got to move some steel 😃 (can you tell I almost dropped my phone 😅)

While we’re at it, here’s my humble forge. Just got another coat of refractory due to some tearing. Also curing in the hellscape of AZ.

She’s just about ready. Just got sealed and is baking off in the LOVELY AZ sun. Soon she’ll have an anvil on top.

Long time no chat. This is my Shou Sugi Ban-ized anvil stand. The other sides are ugly cus I patched cracks, I was just trying to shore up weaker points in the wood. Nevertheless!
