For several years I've been interested in learning how to shape metal. Finally, in 2025, I started learning how to bend steel to my will with flame and force. Join me on my journey as I work through my ABANA levels and learn the traditional skills of a blacksmith. Big shoutout to my local blacksmith school and all-around great guys from Fire Iron Forge. Head over to my forge page to follow along!

I love working with copper! Such a beautiful metal and easy to work with! Head to my chasing page to see what I've been working.

I have done some home foundry work where I recycle metals. My favorite here is aluminum, it's easy to find, cheap, and very recyclable! I like to cast it with greensand cope and drag mold boxes.
