Blacksmithing

Written by:

The Great Northern Arts Festival came to town recently.

There were a whole bunch of skilled craftsmen in town running workshops, so I took one on blacksmithing. Over the course of a few hours, my hammer, furnace and I created three things, which are now fully functional around our house:

A simple coat hanger
A simple coat hanger
A fancier coat hanger
A fancier coat hanger
A zany bottle opener
A zany bottle opener

All in all, a super interesting day dabbling in a new skill.

My blacksmithing teacher, showing off the bottle openers that he, I and the other student made.
