Along with the changing seasons, changing politics, and changing COVID numbers, we often try to seek the “new normal”. It’s tough to say what exactly that looks like, at least at the start of things. For now, we’ve found a new normal setting up shop at the Bethesda Central Farmer’s Market. This market has beenContinue reading “A new normal”

On to new adventures
As summer wraps up, a new school year is just beginning for most of my family and friends. This is the first time I won’t be following in those footsteps, and to be honest- it’s bittersweet. I couldn’t be more excited for the new beginnings, but I’ll miss the enthusiasm and energy of working withContinue reading “On to new adventures”
Finally pulled this together…

Camping on the Riverbanks
If COVID has taught me anything, it’s how much I miss the little moments that leave lasting memories, like camping and hanging out with friends on the riverbank. Sometimes we happened to be climbing nearby and needed a dip, other times we were there for the river itself.

I am especially happy to present the first of ourContinue reading “Mixed Media from Buckingham Creations”
Restoring a piece of history: 1910’s Columbian Hardware Post Vise
I was lucky enough to acquire a unique piece of history, a Columbian Hardware post vise from the mid-1910’s.

Coil Spring Kiridashi
This little coil spring Kiridashi was chisel-ground to be incredibly sharp. This was a trial in seeing how thin I could take it, and I certainly pushed this one to the limit. It is a right handed grind.
Key Racks and Plant Hangers
Sometimes the simple things have the most to teach us. I am constantly refining my work in a variety of skills, but I love coming back to simple projects that challenge me on the basics and make me rethink my process. These are already spoken for but you could have your very own by ContactingContinue reading “Key Racks and Plant Hangers”
Forging with Friends and Family
I got the chance to recently get some friends and family members into the forge to work on some projects of their own. Here are a few pictures from the weekend
