We have had the pleasure of having Shawn McIntyre an ABS Mastersmith, www.mcintyreknives.com from Australia here for a few days.
Shawn, who has had an interest in blacksmithing since childhood was looking to learn more about efficient forging techniques that apply to this beautiful craft.
Brian and Lyle forged and talked forging for 4 days straight with Shawn. We hate to see him go but look forward to seeing him again.

Dave and Elise from San Antonio, Texas came for an anniversary class this past weekend. Married 6 years, these two are fun, focused and adventurous. They forged all day with the mad professor (Brian) and ate my kitchen cooking with a smile. Bubbles, (Lyle Wynn) was around and it was a great 3 days for all.
We have been offering private instruction at our home in Brian's shop, in between events for a short while now and I would have to say it is always enjoyable for both Brian and I. We have made so many good friends while forging, and sharing meals.
Thank you Dave and Elise and we look forward to next year!

Next student is the 28th but we have some iron in the fire until then... I just shipped some of Brian's work to Virginia Nuckolls at the National Ornamental Metal Museum in Memphis TN. I am still working on a calendar and more videos as well as creating a page of things we have on hand for sale.

Thanks for stopping by...Karen and Brian
