It's all good though. Last weekend Larry House from Dragons Watch Forge & Foundry, John Perilloux from John Perilloux Metal Art, and myself attended the Steep Hollow Forge Works Combo-Demo in Bryan, TX.
Smiths and artists from several states as well as five different blacksmithing groups came to give demonstrations, show off their work, bar-b-cue, and in general have a good old time.
We camped out Friday night behind the forge and spent and evening drinking beer and chatting with our fellow smiths and it was definitely a good time. Saturday kicked off with non-stop demos all day including a live smelting and harvesting of an iron bloom straight from the furnace.
A representative from Anyang Power Hammers brought out a 55lb self-containted air hammer for us to play with and give us a few demos as well.
Our hosts Jeff and Alan Lee really went all out to not only put on an event well worth the drive, but one that we all had a great time attending. Thanks again, guys!
And now, back to the forge with me.
