Pennsic 38 - Blacksmithing

Friday - Aug. 7th 2009,

My son (Kyl), Daugther (Katya), their friend (Jake), and I took a Blacksmithing class hosted by Bovinae(?) of We Happy Few camp.

The Forge

Kyl running the Bellows

Kyl busy hammering away making his first iron hair pin.

Jake making a hair pin as well.

They had alot of fun. Sadly Katya changed her mind on making a hair pin, but she worked hard for the boys running the bellows for them.

Kyl's Iron Hair Pin.

I'll posted the pictures of the finished items that we make later on.
