Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of demonstrating blacksmithing to Boy Scout troop 316. It was my 1st time doing this and I was very grateful for how well it went for all of us. It was a very positive experience for all. I'm also very grateful for the great support I received from the scout masters and the scouts.

We made a giant fishing hook and a Bowie knife. Thanks scouts for your major contribution to the knife. I definitely want to do blacksmith demos again.

The photos posted here are in compliance with scout troup policy. The scouts pictured were approved by their fathers.

Just made this knife from a lawnmower blade. Sorry I didn't video in the making of it.
