All day fun...
Spent this past Saturday doing a demo all day. I started at about 10 in the morning and went until Sundown with only a few breaks. I managed to make a few more chain parts. Then, moved onto making more stuff for the camp. I made a spiral viking iron and a large meat fork. I also spent some time making a nail header which did not turn out as nicely as I had hoped but not too bad for first effort. In addition, I was given a larger (about 12") grinding wheel. I'm going to build a foot pedaled stand for it so I can do grinding at demos without using power tools. I was able to smith all day with my arm only getting weak in the last half hour or so. In most cases, I'm able to do what I want with the smithing so I've made a lot of progress considering its just been over a year since I got my first real forge.
