A blacksmith can never have too many forms.  I might never need to turn a circle this diameter again, but if I ever do..... now I have a form for it.  It took longer to make the form than it did to make the three hoops. 

This is the blacksmith’s life.  We make the tools to make the tools, then we can get on with making whatever the tools were needed for in the first place.

G.O.L.D. Extiendes tu toque de pies a cabeza atrayendo miradas.... A fuego y hierro eres revestido y purificado... Camarada de reyes... Patrono de hombres.... De ilusión incalculable.... maldiceme con tu valor!..... #gold #extendyourself #fireandiron #coatedandpurified #comrade #skull #patron #incalculableilusion #convenant #digitalart #digitalpainting #originalart #welcome #7scielos https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnq-OCYh1R8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z9yqv13pna9f

Nice stop on our way home from our failed attempt at the Palouse Falls this beautiful day ❤️ 🍻 #Dayton #MaxHorte #WaBrews #FireAndIron (at Chief Spring's Fire and Irons Brew Pub)

The only thing missing in the picture is some quality hand-forged ironwork from the local blacksmith!  We can take solace in knowing that the blacksmith was at least involved in making the tools used to square the timber and quarry the stone.

Rams horn curl (for my Aries wife) mounting brackets. These are for the huge stone tomb effigy she got for her birthday. They will hold it to the wall. #handwrought #blacksmith #squarebolts #formywife #ludditelifeskills #fireandiron #handcrafted (at Pratt Fine Arts Center)
