On Sunday, it was time to come together at the industrial museum Ennepetal. The Krenzer family was there, too, and Rolf dropped by to forge, too. The Krenzer family is a family of blacksmiths from the Ennepetal who are doing a great job with kids and forging tools on historical machines at the Krenzer Hammer. They had a vernissage at the mueum of the exposition "MetallKunstWeltEN". I unfortunately had no time to visit the expo, but I will, and will inform my trusty and dedicated readers of it.;-)
Rolf forging a Birka knife...seems he got the bug bad, too*ggg*... it´s a craze with us at the moment. Everybody seems to make Birka knives at the moment. And there are reasons: They take little energy to make, are dead simple, but offer a blacksmithing challenge.
Talking of which, Willi doing it again: Making flimsy, teenie-weenie projects and doing his best to humble my efforts-great job, bro!*ggg*
And he does one great job with the kids, too.
Here he forges a knotwork key chain pendant. With kids. Respect!
I was all fluffy from two weeks of hard working and little to no sleep, so all I really got wired was this hammerhead. C 60 or something - or so Willi said;-).
I was taking it a bit easy, for I was very fatigued, had two to ten coffee, some cake and BRATWÜRST;-), and had a chat with Fritz and my mother, who dropped by, too. But a great day noenetheless. Work is going crazy at the moment, but that´s fine with me. It simply feels good.
Those are the adventures of Mr. Fimbulmyrk, in bushcraft and blacksmithing, mountainbiking and hiking, reenactment, writing, singing, dancing, stargazing and having a piece of cake and a coffee. Pray have a seat and look around you, but be warned - the forest´s twilight is ferocious at times.
