This was taken in May at Between the Rivers Gathering opening meeting. Twice a year I can be found facilitating events that are focused on keeping the skills of our ancestors alive, skills from our earliest tool and fire making ancestors all the way up through the early Industrial Revolution.

Just finished covering another 144 sq’ of outdoor workspace. All of my hot work for my forge, and my grinders are currently outside. This will help keep the weather off of them and make my workshop life a bit more pleasant!

Bladesmithing demo this past September at Rabbitstick Rendezvous with Kevin Kimmel behind, and Daniel Olson striking with me at my anvil. Good times!
