Well, that’s new!

I’ve had quite a few people ask me how they can support the blacksmithing I do.  Not being the most computer-savvy person out there, it takes me awhile to grasp all this new-fangled stuff so I might be a little slow on the uptake.

Anyhow, I have now created a Subscribe Star account to make things easier.

https://www.subscribestar.com/three-rivers-forge I’m working on setting up to do videos, but I work off a dinosaur of a computer and haven’t been able to get video editing software to function.  Buying a new computer simply isn’t possible at the moment so we’ll have to figure something out.  Just a matter of applying some brain power to the problem.

If you have any ideas, I’m all ears.  Drop me a note and we can brainstorm together!

Made a new end table for my wife. The piece of wood with the branch split is a piece of the black walnut I'd let cure.

Finally got a start on the large commission for curtain rods and hooks after a couple months worth of delays. Took an extra half hour to make a curtain rod lifter for the wife since she's about a foot shorter than me. Decided to put plastic feathers on the arrow I was making instead of real ones just to finish it and try it out. Works quite well on a hollow steel door with a 20lb bow.

Last Saturday I gave a shot at making a different style of knife I'd never tried making before. Last picture is before the final touches.

Started work on a few spike hangers for pounding into trees. Didn't get as far as I wanted to since it gets dark so early this time of year.

Did a practice run on the curtain rod holders I'd made for our place. Used a section of 3/8 rod to see how it would look and work. Gives me a chance to do some practical thinking for a large commission I just got for the same.
