Ironfest continued...
I just got back from Ironfest. They had several demo areas going. Unfortunately, most of the areas were the artsy-fartsy stuff. :) I need to learn some more about the artistic side of blacksmithing but some of the demos were modern art which I'm really not into. I guess I am getting a little more experienced because the beginner classes they had going were too basic for me. So, I didn't get too much out of the demos. Not the fault of Ironfest, just not what I was looking for.
However, I did get to chat a while with two gentlemen who are also in the SCA. One of them is the part owner of TeachingTapes.net. He gave me a pretty good deal on some DVDs that I was thinking of buying anyway. I probably shouldn't have bought as much as I did but it was a good deal. The other guy I met awhile back at Old City Park in Dallas. Between the two of them, turned the day into a pretty nice day.
I did get to see some tools and such that I haven't had to see in person. Some of the vendors will be at a conference in Florida. I might pick up some stuff there. Unfortunately, its a little difficult for me to buy an anvil and check in on the plane. Something about its weight.
Now, for an artistic picture I took at the event.
