Metal Mashing Mayhem: The North Carolina Crew

North Carolina blacksmiths, Shelby Mihalevich, Bob Brandl, and Charlie Lionheart Ellis spent last week working with me in Knight Forge Studio. Though much shenanigans were about we  managed to get a lot of work done. Here is a little of both:

Metal Mashing Mayhem: Friday KNIGHT Open Forge - Full Moon Seax

There was a special Friday Knight Open Forge event at Knight Forge Studio on December 5th. Jimmy Howe catered an oyster roast serving up 4 bushels of oysters for about 35 guests. We also had delicious chili with a little Mediterranean flavor fusion provided by Cristina Juhasz. My wife made a rockin' oyster stew per special request by Billy Ridgell (missed you buddy) and Mary Blanchard made hot dogs for all the little ones. Guests came from as far as Maryland, the Asheville, North Carolina area, Edisto Beach, Charleston, St. Matthews, Summerville, Waggoner, and locals. We will be hosting another catered Friday Knight Open Forge event again soon. "Like" my FaceBook Page to keep up to date with what is going at Knight Forge Studio.

Metal Mashing Mayhem: Friday KNIGHT Open Forge - Leafing It

Tonight was the first Friday KNIGHT Open Forge. About 12 people showed up including my cousin Brooke and her husband. Cory Huff, a local farrier, also came out and demonstrated making a cobra out of a rasp. (A picture should be here but I was too involved to take any. I plan to designate someone to handle that task in the future.)

I plan on doing this every Friday night unless something unforeseen requires that I cancel. Once a month I will be doing a special demonstration to be determined each month.

This is my demonstration leaf.

This leaf was made by Seth, a guy I met at Earthfare.
