I am starting this years Ringtober with a focus on blacksmithing techniques Day 1 is Punching and Drifting buckling and stretching the metal with forced holes to give it a very organic form. #Jewelry#ringtober24#silver#ring#rings#smithing#smithingskills

I know it's been a while but I'm still here. Super busy right now with faire season here but I'm still making. Though the app now will not let me post images even thought it has permission. Will figure that out later though

Expanding my work into sculpture as well as found objects. Slowly. First piece is a steel copper and river stone cattail or bullrush. Approximately 30 inches tall #blacksmith#metalwork#sculpture#nature#handmade

Yeah the eyes of the maker are often the harshest that the work will ever see. I've been doing small scale stuff as a side business but I live in the middle of nowhere unfortunately. Just gotta keep making

That is more than me lol. Making jewelry is wonderful but making it well enough for your own satisfaction is always a losing battle to me. It can always be better if what goes through my head at least

Well I finally was able to get a simple tool I've been looking for for a long time for a decent price. And I got it all cleaned up. So now I just need to build a stand and get the right material to get to using it. A silversmith raising stake I can't wait. #silversmith#silversmithing#metalwork

We have finally gotten a bit of winter out here in the Poconos. Of course it's already melting away, but I got some time to get out and enjoy it. #photography#nature#wildlife#wildlifephotography

So I had a spot at a Holiday Artisans Market out here in PA this past weekend. Was a good time, here are some of the Christmas decorations I brought with me. Though some could be more generic winter decor. Any suggestions from those of other faiths are more than welcome. #blacksmith#handmade

I just want to say thank you to the folks who have followed and re..posted? My stuff so far. So here is a bit of my belt buckle work from the past.

So trying this again. Tried earlier and my photos wouldn't load. But here are some of my forge work.
