Blacksmithing

Jordan has been doing blacksmithing for a while, and is getting good enough to practice on his own. Just recently, he bought all the materials to make his own forge, and it is now in working order in the backyard.
Beginning to mix the mortar.
For a real job, you've got to get messy.
Every job around here has an audience.

All set up. Yes, he is using a hair-dryer as the blower. That's one of the advantages of having eight sisters:).

Going at it. The first night he made a fire rake and a hot cutter.



Chris was working on his own forge. He wants to be just like Jordan, and he is not going to wait until he grows up.
