Well this thing sure has taken off! I am a blacksmith by trade, that ends up being a lot! Mostly we do shop videos, projects, techniques, and combine modern tools with ancient crafts to make mundane things. But we live in rural Tennessee and really never know what any day will bring. I may be making new products to sell, working on a tractor or building ballistic armor, it all happens here. So come on in and hang out with my wife Cindy, my girls Jewell, and Etta, and myself Brandon from Voo Doo
