I have a friend who is a top notch blacksmith, so when our member PabstXX came to America, he and his wife stayed at our house. I was thinking of what we could do while he was here, so I called Jim and asked if we could come over for a forging lesson. To say those 2 hit it off is an understatement. When they realized that they had a German connection, the beers came out , at about 10am, and the forging and tomfoolery started. Uli and I both made leaves, which according to Jim is his benchmark test to see if you have the makings of a blacksmith. So anyway, here’s a couple pics of that memorable trip.
