Show and Tell - Ontario Artist Blacksmith Association Notice Board

Forged door handle for sliding door.

Hi all. I hope you're all doing well and finding some time to spend at the forge. I've attached a picture of a handle I made for a friend. It went on a sliding barn door style door that seem to be pretty popular right now.

Workshop design help and advice sought.

I need you folks to "show and tell"! I have a small set up in the corner of my drive shed, but I want to improve it, maybe even a dedicated out building! If you have shop plans or photos or a description of what works for you, pitfalls to avoid or some small tweak that made a big difference, I would purely love to hear from you! Please send to the email listed. Thanks! Kevin

John Little inspired Serpent Bottle Opener

I attended the conference held at Upper Canada Village in April and I have to say it was an 'once in a lifetime event'. John and Nancy Little are truly amazing people and, over the course of the three days offered a perspective on Blacksmithing that I found refreshing, engaging and inspiring. This Serpent bottle opener was inspired by one that John Little forged at the conference.
