1 of 2 -Recently bought a 30 year old Elmira stove at a resale shop. Upon getting it installed discovered that Igniter did not work and gas valve/regulator was stuck. Reached out to @ElmiraStoves for replacement parts, unfortunately those parts were not longer available...

“Fast Car” with the one and only Tracy Chapman on the @RecordingAcad GRAMMYs. A moment I’ll always remember.
It's a double platelets and plasma kind of morning. NCH is having critical shortage on platelets, a few minutes of your time could mean a lifetime to someone else

A cool old shot of our incredibly talented co-founder: Andy Davis @CoalironAndy testing out an early 16-ton model a few years ago.
It's wild how fast time flies and how much we've grown as a company since then.

V42 dagger for an outstanding Green Beret. All components forged from a A10 GAU-8 barrel.

The real value, for me, is in public exposure for the art and craft of blacksmithing.
If only one or two people that see my short videos pick up a hammer to explore the craft or start a blacksmithing business to feed their family, the shorts will have been worth the effort.
This sword was made by a friend of mine and is being auctioned off for charity.

"Dirty Boy" for those dirty jobs.
7 layer pattern welded "Damascus" 1084 and 15n20. Handle is crepe myrtle (tree downed by Hurricane Irma) with black stain tung oil finish. Pins are mild steel. If you zoom in you can see sanding lines in blade and handle, those were intentionally left in to enhance the Dirty look.
Tomahawk forged from a farriers rasp. Hickory handle with red sedona stain and tung oil finish. This is the trophy for the winner of our Axe Throwing Competition.
Do you see the 2 different colors on the blade, top is darker than bottom. That is called a Hamon (the wavy line along edge of Japanese sword). The darker part is softer and the lighter part is harder. This gives the blade the best of two worlds, hardness and toughness.
