I can’t remember what the heck we were talking about but flashback January 2016 hanging with my buddy @marksuchocki I love that shop Mark has, I need to get back down there for a visit. #blacksmith #coalforge (at Royalston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv3toiLl3rp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=147cmrxc4uapb

I really enjoy the weirdness and randomness of my job. All this week I’m at the Banning Museum in Long Beach talking to elementary school kids about blacksmithing and life in the 1800’s. I talk about life before Target, the value of handmade things, gender roles, and the importance of “thinking with your hands” and making things. The kids are great and I really enjoy talking with them. Also as an added bonus the rose garden I’m in front of is just spectacular. 🌹🌻🌷🌼🌸🌺 (Oh and also I get to drive my new truck up here every day and god DAMN is she smooth!!!) #education #indoctrinatetheyouth #blacksmithing #history #springtime #smelltheroses #forging #coalforge #travelingblacksmith #makethings https://www.instagram.com/joyfire/p/BwFjt8vjlFD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oo94hg5eklme

After being cooped up with sick babies for 2 weeks it was a really nice treat to get out and teach yesterday. And these guys did a great job. I love seeing students make hooks! I especially enjoy watching the improvement from the first to the second. Forging is a unique process, but once you get your head around some basic principles its just natural and intuitive. #blacksmithing #blacksmith #forging #coalforge #teaching #instructing #alwayslearning #handforged #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo9U8pxgB5D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bpamtah21lmk

Foot bellows. Use propane, but seeing stuff like this makes me want to build an open anthracite coal forge. @blacksmithtools #forging #blacksmithing #oldiron #riddleofsteel #coalforge (at Seattle, Washington)

Installed a shelf in the shop this morning and now I'm breaking up coal for the forge. There is always something to be done in the shop. #blacksmithshop #blackwolfforge #blacksmithlife #blackwolfindustries #coalforge (at Maricopa, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/blackwolfforge/p/By3GJGZHU2d/?igshid=3pj1gmyqfmol

After much bullying from @cjdufton I've started forging a handle out of old rebar for my coal forge shovel. I had been just using a garden shovel. I've made up the shovel pan i just need to rivet it on. #anvil #forge #coalforge #handleit #makestuff #bladesmithing

Last weekend I was asked to sneak my portable shop into a backyard to surprise a guy for his birthday. I had finished setting up right as they got back from breakfast. We had a blast forging some mild steel knives out. #blacksmith #blacksmithing #knifeforging #knifemaking #coalforge #birthday #suprise #happybirthday #workingintherain https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpmh9MJAwy9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=halt5uonkis1

Nice little coal forge setup amongst some bamboo and a creek. Forging here is pure meditation. #custombuild #forge #homeforge #customforge #blacksmithing #coalforge
