Gary Eagle Workshop | Blacksmith Show and Tell | Forum

Spent Friday Saturday Sunday out at Darryl Nelsons school participating in a Gary Eagle workshop.... Had a blast as always ( I try and get to Darryl's at least a couple times a year) Sunday Darryl Dave and I threw a round of Tomahawks on Darryl's 18 station course... I got smoked... Darryl threw a 36 under par.. Dave I think was in the high 20's under.... I was 4 under par... I think I threw pretty good... But its kind of like a high school kid shooting a round of golf with a couple PGA pro's....

Had a lot of fun and as always learned a lot.. Some great smiths in the class... Bruce, Ben, Kelly & Dan...I pall'ed around with My buddys Dave Lisch and Bill Apple but also spent quite a bit of time with Renato Muskovic... Renato is a great smith, but he is so much more. He builds a line of sheet metal shaping equipment (Yoder style power hammers and Ecold style shrinkers as well as a very impressive 660lb anvil) The guy is just dripping with knowledge and willing to share... It was worth going to the class just to spend the few hours picking Renato's brain.

For info on Darryl's classes check the Hot Iron News or the training section!
