Long but fun weekend,

  I set up to demo this weekend on Friday night.  All day Saturday and Sunday I was demoing blacksmithing.  I had at least 4 or 5 people give blacksmithing a try.  Its always rewarding to help others learn.  But this weekend there was an additional reward.  As a kind of thank you for all the demoing work I've done over the past few years, a lady that I know gave me a #100 Fisher anvil.  This particular model anvil is famous for its "dead" ring.  It is a very quiet anvil and my neighbors will thank her.


Some items that I worked on this weekend...


* Nice roast fork (large fork for picking up big pieces of meat)


* Pilum, a Roman style spear.


* Started another Quatrefoil.  I still want to make a quatrefoil for an SCA Art-Sci.  This time when I did the quatrefoil, I put decorative fleurs on the inside.  Came out a bit better than I expected.


In addition to that, I helped others make a knife, do some welding, and several S hooks.
