A pair of my hand forged roses finished about to go to their new home. One painted and one with a traditional oil finish. I really love making these.

New baby hammer birthed in flame! I went to a blacksmith gathering this weekend and with the help of some friends to strike for me made a diagonal peen hammer. Nothing makes me feel better than some heavy metal therapy.

Been battling depression the last 6th months and I've found it hard to feel creative. Finally made myself go out and just make something simple, while I'm quite rusty, it felt great to swing a hammer again.

My daughter loved the flower on the bottle opener and asked if she could have it. She's 8 so not much need for it. I put a bunch of flowers on a 6" disc for her. Needs a bracket to hold it on the wall still.

First cook: My buddy who's a chef and hobbyist blacksmith wanted an 18" tinned copper paella pan, so he did the reasonable thing and forged his own, complete with wrought mild steel handles and forged copper rivets.
