[Image Can Not Be Found] 1980 or there abouts, Built this shed to weld junk art which eventually led to a student of blacksmithing. Several coal and gas forges, gravel then concrete floor, electricity.

By 2000 the ivy and woods took over, mice, bats, racoons, and whatever other critters were out there, drove me to put the hot iron shop in the garage, a move I've never regretted, warmer, no critters, TV, frige, chair, well lite, grinder stations, mill, drill, lathe, welder, all in one space. About a month ago the shed was in disrepair, had a frend dismantle it and remove most of the ivy and brush from the area.

Oh, I used to play with photography, this is a black and white graphic from my darkroom, now long gone since I went to digital photography and Photoshop.

The hungary machine about to dismantle the old shed, October 2010, 30 years after it was built.

Long to build, fast to tear down.

In the old days I would have burned the pile, but with burn bans, it was hauled to the recycle yard.

That shed is the first shop Ryan and I tried our first forging in. At the end of the evening you suggested we attend the next NWBA Conf. which was in Mt. Vernon. Best advice we've ever been given! Thanks Gene!
